Slow-roasted pork in Hyde End
Is a hog roast right for your party?
Instead of booking a restaurant, a hog roast at home lets everyone relax in the garden. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

Party hog roast in Hyde End, carved to order
Rolls are easy for party guests to eat standing up, so hog roast rolls are ideal. Alternatives cover anyone who does not eat pork. We are frequently asked to cater big birthday parties and close and cul-de-sac parties, serving jacket potatoes, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken.
In a small place like Hyde End, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours.

Catered or do it yourself?

We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.

Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Hyde End
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Peter: 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 usually elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is Hyde End too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What’s included?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Should we warn the neighbours?
Give them a heads-up.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will check it with you before booking.
Is there a non-pork option?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
The process
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. At midsummer, it is light in Hyde End until about 9:25pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- It starts with the date, the address and a rough guest list.
- We check the date and the garden or drive, then send a quote.
- On the day we arrive hours ahead and start the roast under cover.
- We carve and serve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we tidy up the serving area.
How to prepare
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Have a level outdoor spot ready

Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:

- A heads-up for next door
- Access for the roaster through a gate or passage
