Party hog roast in Hoyle, carved to order
For a christening or naming day in Hoyle, a hog roast at home means everyone eats together, and nobody misses the celebration. Typical bookings include back-garden get-togethers and engagement parties, serving coleslaw, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls.
In a small place like Hoyle, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll handle the rest. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

A hog roast or other catering?
Instead of booking a restaurant, a hog roast at home lets everyone relax in the garden. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Why us?
- All the equipment comes with us
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Timed around your day
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours

Who books party hog roast in Hoyle?
Most children happily eat pork in a roll, and chicken or a vegan sausage covers fussier eaters.
People around Hoyle book us for small gatherings and big outdoor days alike. For example:
- Garden parties
- Big birthday parties
- Reunions
- Wedding anniversaries
A christening at The Parish Church of St James followed by a hog roast at home is a simple, popular plan.
What to look for in a quote
- VAT, if it applies
- Staffing on the day
- Arrival time and how long the roast needs
- What crockery is supplied
What happens on the day
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. In Hoyle, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so most summer parties eat in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 4:00pm, need lights by the roaster.
- Tell us about your party: date, address and numbers.
- We check the space and send a price.
- We set up hours ahead.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Gather dietary requirements early

Hoyle questions
Do you cater at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
We’re gathering after a service at The Parish Church of St James: 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 generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
How much will it be?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
Do you do DIY hire for parties?
Yes, for confident cooks. Catering is the easier option.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we will plan the vegan burgers or sausages.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Catered or do it yourself?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
We set up where we agreed and stay out of the way, so the party carries on around us.
Ask about china for a sit-down party, at extra cost.
