Country parties near Kent Street suit a hog roast: slow-roasted and eaten outside. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. Our staff serve and clear, so you are not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

Is crockery included?

Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Space, access and the venue
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- A spot well away from the house
- Flat ground in the garden or on the drive
- Access for the roaster through a gate or passage
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed goes into rolls or onto plates.
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it’s needed, which keeps it hot and moist.
Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Find out who does not eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
If the party runs late, the roast can wait a little, so tell us if timings change.
Add chicken for younger or fussier guests.
