Party hog roast in Hook, carved to order
For a relaxed party, you can hire the machine and cook it yourself. Most hosts prefer us to do it, and spend time with their guests. We serve apple sauce, a vegan burger or sausage and rotisserie chicken, and we’re frequently booked for ruby, golden and diamond anniversaries and street parties.
Country parties near Hook suit a hog roast: slow-roasted and eaten outside. Plan shelter in case it rains. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.
Step by step
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. Autumn parties in Hook get dark early: about 7:10pm by late September and 4:00pm by December. Plan lights for the path and the food.

How we price a hog roast for your party
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Season and day of the week
- Menu choices and extras
- Plates or china
- Site access
Travel matters for the price: we include travel in the quote, with any London charges listed. Give us the address so the quote is accurate.
Getting an accurate quote
For a quick, accurate price, tell us:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The venue or postcode
- Rough numbers
- Your menu choices
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so you can compare caterers fairly. Fill in our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
The menu, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, served in a roll with salads.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
FAQs for Hook
How far is Hook from London?
Roughly 68 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Hook?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
What about the neighbours?
Give them a heads-up, especially if the roaster is near a fence.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Can we just hire the roaster?
DIY machine hire is available. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Is a hog roast good for a children’s party?
Plain pork rolls go down well with children, and chicken or a vegan sausage covers fussy eaters.
What do people get?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Should I cook it myself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Before you choose a spot
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- Space for our vehicle near the drive
- Neighbours warned about the smell
- Clearance from walls, fences and overhanging branches
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
