Party hog roast in Lower Froyle, carved to order
Hosting a party means juggling everything at once. With a hog roast, the food is sorted: we roast, carve, serve and clear. For 18th, 21st, 40th, 50th and 60th birthdays and getting-engaged parties, we can cook rotisserie chicken, crackling and coleslaw and more.
A country party near Lower Froyle is perfect for a hog roast: slow-roasted and eaten outside. Plan shelter in case it rains. The hog is roasted on site at your party, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.
What happens on the day
From setting up to the last roll, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your party. Sunset in Lower Froyle is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so an early-evening carve is usually in daylight. After about 4:00pm in December, we need light to carve.

Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Lower Froyle
Is Lower Froyle too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Which station is closest to Lower Froyle?
Bentley (Hampshire) station, about 2 miles east of the centre.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
Do you come to Lower Froyle?
Yes, Lower Froyle is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will confirm availability.
What space does the roaster need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will confirm the space with your quote.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it is always worth asking: use our quote form.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Can you do a hog roast in our back garden?
Describe the space and the way in, and we will give you an honest answer.
For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.
Should I cook it myself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue, no one gets stuck at the grill, and everyone eats together. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Why book with us
- Our staff serve and clear
- Carved to order by a chef
- All the equipment comes with us
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
