About our party hog roast in Lower Green
For a relaxed party, you can hire the machine and cook it yourself. Most hosts prefer us to do it, and spend time with their guests. Whether it is christenings and naming days and ruby, golden and diamond anniversaries, we can cook crackling, coleslaw and apple sauce for your guests.
In a small place like Lower Green, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll handle the rest. The hog is roasted on site at your party, low and slow, for hours.
Planning for dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Add a dietary question to the invite
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
Our chef carves and our staff serve at the agreed time, then clear up the serving area.
Rotisserie chicken is popular at family parties.

Working with your venue
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We will keep everyone in the loop.
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.
Step by step
Here’s how the day usually runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. In Lower Green, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so an early-evening carve is generally in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:55pm, need lights by the roaster.
- You tell us the date, your address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check the date and the garden or drive, then send a quote.
- We set up early and get the hog roasting.
- When it is time to eat, the chef carves and we serve.
- We clear up and pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know about tight access
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Give us final numbers a week or so before

What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, which keeps it hot and moist.
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken goes into rolls or onto plates alongside the pork.
Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
