Party hog roast in Lee, slow-roasted on site
A party at home needs a little planning for the roaster: a level spot away from the house and trees, under cover. We’ll help you choose. We’re often asked to cater 18th, 21st, 40th, 50th and 60th birthdays and christenings, serving a vegan burger or sausage, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken.
Throwing a party in Lee? A hog roast means no cooking for you, in a garden, a yard or a hired hall with outdoor space. A long roast means a word with the neighbours. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

Lee questions
What’s the nearest station to Lee?
Lee has its own station: Lee station.
We are gathering after a service at Church of the Good Shepherd: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.
Do we need a marquee for a party hog roast?
The roaster has its own cover; plan shelter for guests in bad weather.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we will talk you through it.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a picture if you are unsure.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
Should I cook it myself?
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 are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.

Rotisserie chicken

If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We will fit in with site rules.

Step by step
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. The smell typically brings people over long before we carve. In Lee, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so most summer parties eat in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:55pm, need lights by the roaster.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the space and send a price.
- We set up hours ahead.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
