A hog roast or other catering?
Next to ordering takeaway, a hog roast is part of the party, not just the food. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

Party hog roast in Lake End, slow-roasted on site
Plan where the roaster will go: level ground outdoors, clear of the house and fences. We’ll check it with you. Typical bookings include back-garden get-togethers and leaving and retirement do’s, serving apple sauce, crackling and hog roast rolls.
In a small place like Lake End, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will handle the rest. The hog is roasted on site at your party, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your guests.

Full catering or machine hire?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Think about children’s portions
- Find out who does not eat pork for the alternatives
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
We get there early to start the roast, so it is cooking when guests arrive.
Sides turn rolls into a proper party meal.
