Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
DIY or catered? DIY suits confident cooks and relaxed parties; catering suits bigger or more important parties. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What you get with us
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- Planned to your running order
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork

Party hog roast near Lymore
Birthdays, christenings and summer parties in Lymore suit a hog roast: one roast, enough for a crowd. Our staff serve and clear. Popular choices include rotisserie chicken, a vegan burger or sausage and hog roast rolls, and typical bookings are for wedding anniversaries and engagement parties.
A country party near Lymore is perfect for a hog roast: roasted all afternoon and carved on the lawn. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish before you book.
Should I cook it myself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.

Planners, venues and businesses
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
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’ll keep everyone in the loop.
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing generally contains gluten
- Find out who does not eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
Have a word with the neighbours first: roasting takes hours and the smell travels, and they may ask for a roll.
A string of lights by the carving station looks great as it gets dark.

Will the smell bother the neighbours?
Let them know in advance.
Is clearing up included?

How the day works
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. A summer party in Lymore stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, 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.

- 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.
