Party hog roast near Hunters Forstal
A party at home needs a little planning for the roaster: level ground outdoors, clear of the house and fences. We’ll check it with you. For back-garden get-togethers and naming ceremonies, we can cook crackling, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken and more.
Country parties near Hunters Forstal suit a hog roast: roasted all afternoon and carved on the lawn. Plan shelter in case it rains. Timings are planned around your party, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
Organising for someone else?
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We will fit in with site rules.
Before you choose a spot
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- A heads-up for next door
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat
- Parking close to the house
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

About the food
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.

FAQs for Hunters Forstal
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Is Hunters Forstal close to London?
Roughly 54 miles from the centre of London.
Do we need a marquee for a party hog roast?
We bring cover for the roaster; plan shelter for guests in bad weather.
Will the smell bother the neighbours?
A friendly word helps: the roast cooks for hours and the smell travels. Some hosts invite them over for a roll.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we will check.
Is clearing up included?
We bring plates and clear up after service.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
