Street parties and neighbourhood get-togethers suit a hog roast too, with the right permissions. For milestone birthdays and christenings and naming days, we can cook a vegan burger or sausage, crackling and apple sauce and more.
Country parties near Kiln Green suit a hog roast: roasted all afternoon and carved on the lawn. Plan shelter in case it rains. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.
How the day works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. For an evening party in Kiln Green, think about light: it is light until about 9:25pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. Lights by the food keep the party going.

Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
Catered or do it yourself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a buffet, a hog roast is hot and freshly carved, and nothing sits out all afternoon. Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. Every event gets its own quote, with everything listed.
