The process
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. A summer party in Howt Green stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:00pm; add lights for the evening.
- It starts with the date, the address and a rough guest list.
- You get a check on the date and the cooking spot, and a quote.
- On the day we arrive hours ahead and start the roast under cover.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve when you’re ready.
- We pack away and leave the garden tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Have a level outdoor spot ready

Party hog roast near Howt Green
A hog roast works for street parties as well, once the road closure or permission is in place. On the menu are crackling, coleslaw and a vegan burger or sausage, and we’re often booked for back-garden get-togethers and neighbourhood parties.
In a small place like Howt Green, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll plan the route. The hog is roasted on site at your party, low and slow, for hours.
Catered or do it yourself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.

Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Add a dietary question to the invite
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing typically contains gluten
At food time, we carve and serve, then clear up the serving area.
Ask about china for a sit-down party, at extra cost.

The closest is Kemsley station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Bartholomew: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Do we need to wash up?
Yes, we clear up after service, so there’s very little washing up.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
What about the neighbours?
Let them know in advance.
