Party hog roast in Hodsoll Street, carved to order
Hosting a party means juggling everything at once. With a hog roast, the food is sorted: we cook, carve and serve. Popular choices include a vegan burger or sausage, crackling and jacket potatoes, and typical bookings are for anniversary parties and christenings and naming days.
In a small place like Hodsoll Street, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Can you cater after a service at Church of Saint Peter?

Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.

Working with your venue
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.

The main driver is numbers: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.

Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Add a dietary question to the invite
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
We set up in the agreed spot, so the party carries on around us.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes to make it a full meal.
Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat
- A word with the neighbours
- Access for the roaster through a gate or passage
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
