About our party hog roast in Liss Forest
A party at home needs a little planning for the roaster: level ground outdoors, clear of the house and fences. We’ll help you choose. Popular choices include a vegan burger or sausage, apple sauce and rotisserie chicken, and we’re often booked for christenings and summer parties in the garden.
Country parties near Liss Forest suit a hog roast: slow-roasted and eaten outside. Plan shelter in case it rains. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Add a dietary question to the invite
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
We set up where we agreed and stay out of the way, leaving the garden to you and your guests.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Perfect for your party in Liss Forest

How it works
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. By late September, sunset in Liss Forest is about 7:05pm; by December it is about 4:00pm. Light the garden path and the serving area.
- Tell us about your party: date, address and numbers.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We set up hours ahead.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival

Before you choose a spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- A wet-weather plan for guests
- A step-free way into the garden
- A level patio, lawn or driveway
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to ordering takeaway, the roast is an event in itself. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
What you get with us
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Served at the time you choose

Organising for someone else?
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
Other occasions in Liss Forest
Liss Forest: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Liss Forest?
The closest is Liss station, roughly 0.7 miles away.
We’re gathering after a service at St Saviour's: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is our garden suitable?
Frequently, yes, if there’s a level spot away from the house and trees, and a way to wheel the equipment through. Send us a picture.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
We bring plates and clear up after service.
What if things run late?
We will be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will fit around changes.
What about kids?
Plain pork rolls go down well with children, and chicken or a vegan sausage covers fussy eaters.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Full catering or machine hire?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
