Planning an event in Horton Heath?
Working with your venue
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Party hog roast in Horton Heath, carved to order

Parties around Horton Heath are frequently relaxed garden affairs. It suits that kind of party. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
Have a word with the neighbours first: roasting takes hours and the smell travels.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
What comes off the roaster
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, in a roll, with salad on the side.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, turned until the skin is golden.
How we price a hog roast for your party
The price comes down to:
- Site access
- Numbers
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Details that help
When you get in touch, it helps to include:
- The date and time of the event
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Rough numbers
- Any venue rules
It’s easy to get a price: date, place, numbers and serving time. You’ll get a clear quote listing what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.
Step by step
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can get on with your party. For an evening party in Horton Heath, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late September it’s around 7:10pm. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Getting ready for the day
