Party hog roast near Lumley
A party hog roast turns a garden party into an occasion. We set up in your garden or on the drive, roast slowly for hours and carve when you are ready, so you can enjoy your own party. On the menu are rotisserie chicken, a vegan burger or sausage and hog roast rolls, and we’re regularly asked to cater 18th, 21st, 40th, 50th and 60th birthdays and back-garden get-togethers.
A country party near Lumley is perfect for a hog roast: roasted all afternoon and carved on the lawn. Plan shelter in case it rains. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

How we price a hog roast for your party
We do not use a fixed price list, because every party is different. What matters most:
- The journey to the venue
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Access to the cooking area
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
What we need to know
Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:
- Dietary requirements
- The venue or postcode
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Numbers not final yet? Give us your best estimate and we’ll quote on that, and you can confirm nearer the time. Fill in our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Should I cook it myself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
How it works
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Evening parties in Lumley need a little planning: it’s light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.

Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing usually contains gluten
- Think about children’s portions
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
We get there early to start the roast, so it’s cooking when guests arrive.
Add chicken for younger or fussier guests.
What the cooking area needs
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- Parking close to the house
- Neighbours warned about the smell
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors for guests if it rains
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Party venues around Lumley
Lumley is about 1 mile east of Emsworth, in West Sussex. Planning a hog roast for your party in Lumley? We can help. We cater all 371 towns and villages in West Sussex. Our bookings stretch from Lumley to Southampton (21 miles away).
Christenings and naming days often start at a local church such as Church of St James, with a hog roast at home or in a hall afterwards. A green space like Eames Farm is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, typically the council’s. Near the coast, within about 6 miles, gardens can catch the wind, and we always plan for it.
For parties in PO10, we just need to know where the roaster can cook. Your party could be at a house on Lumley Road and Northlands Park, as long as there’s somewhere outside to cook. We also bring hog roasts to parties in Emsworth (1 mile west), Westbourne (1 mile north), Southbourne (1 mile east), Woodmancote (1 mile north-east) and Denvilles (1 mile west).
