How our party hog roast works in Ladwell
After a christening near Ladwell, a hog roast in the garden feeds the whole family, and nobody misses the celebration. We serve rotisserie chicken, apple sauce and a vegan burger or sausage, and we are often booked for engagement celebrations and neighbourhood parties.
In a small place like Ladwell, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll plan the route. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
What happens on the day
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Autumn parties in Ladwell get dark early: about 7:10pm by late September and 4:00pm by December. Light the garden path and the serving area.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
