- The date and time of year
- The journey to the venue
- Menu choices and extras
- The number of people
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.

How the day works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. At midsummer, it’s light in Lowford until about 9:25pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.

Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Lowford
Is Lowford close to London?
About 68 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
We’re gathering after a service at St Paul’s Church: 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 generally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it is always worth asking: use our quote form.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
What about kids?
Most children like pork in a soft roll, with chicken as an alternative.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a picture if you are unsure.
Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
If the party runs late, the roast can wait a little, so just let us know.
Ask about china for a sit-down party, quoted separately.
About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing are the traditional pairing. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
Is a hog roast right for your party?
Compared with a barbecue, no one gets stuck at the grill, and everyone eats together. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why book with us
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- All the equipment comes with us
