Party hog roast near Kingston Lisle
Rolls are easy for party guests to eat standing up, so hog roast rolls are ideal. Alternatives cover anyone who doesn’t eat pork. We’re often asked to cater christenings and naming days and neighbourhood parties, serving a vegan burger or sausage, coleslaw and crackling.
Near Kingston Lisle, parties are frequently in gardens or fields. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll handle the rest. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

The process
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking does not depend on mains power. In Kingston Lisle, late May sunsets come at about 9:00pm and midsummer ones at about 9:25pm, so an early-evening carve is usually in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 4:00pm, need lights by the roaster.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We set up hours ahead.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed

DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
