Party hog roast in Leigh Park
Party hog roast near Leigh Park
Plan where the roaster will go: level ground outdoors, clear of the house and fences. We’ll help you choose. We’re frequently asked to cater christenings and reunions, with coleslaw, apple sauce and rotisserie chicken.
Around Leigh Park, a garden with room to spare is all you need. A hog roast fits right in. Timings are planned around your party, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some guests won’t eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Think about children’s portions
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Add a dietary question to the invite
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing generally contains gluten
Clear the route to the garden before we arrive, so we can wheel the equipment in.
Bunting or festoon lights near the serving table make a lovely party setting.

What comes off the roaster
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Tell us how many vegans to expect, and we will plan the vegan burgers or sausages.
The process
Your timings come first. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change. A summer party in Leigh Park stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.

- We check the date and the garden or drive, then send a quote.
- We arrive in good time and start roasting.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve when you’re ready.
- We clear up and pack away.
How to prepare
