Party hog roast in Lockerley, carved to order
Party food needs to be easy to eat, so hog roast rolls are ideal. Chicken and vegetarian options keep everyone happy. Typical bookings include family reunions and milestone birthdays, serving apple sauce, jacket potatoes and a vegan burger or sausage.
In a small place like Lockerley, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll handle the rest. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.
Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
- Add a dietary question to the invite
- Request gluten-free rolls
We get there early to start the roast, so it is cooking when guests arrive.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes to make it a full meal.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with takeaway pizzas, a hog roast is part of the party, not just the food. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.

How we price a hog roast for your party
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every party is different. The main factors are:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Season and day of the week
- Distance from us
- Time on site
Distance is part of the price: we include travel in the quote. Tell us the exact address so the quote is accurate.

- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Roughly how many people
- Dietary requirements
- Your menu choices

The menu, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Tell us how many vegans to expect, and we’ll plan the vegan burgers or sausages.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and it suits fussy eaters.
How it works
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. For an evening party in Lockerley, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late September it’s around 7:10pm. Lights by the food keep the party going.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
How to get a price

Catered or do it yourself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
