Party hog roast in Martin, slow-roasted on site
For a christening or naming day in Martin, a hog roast in the garden feeds the whole family, without anyone stuck cooking. Whether it’s leaving and retirement do’s and ruby, golden and diamond anniversaries, we can cook jacket potatoes, a vegan burger or sausage and hog roast rolls.
In a small place like Martin, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we will plan the route. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
What the cooking area needs
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- Access for the roaster through a gate or passage
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat
- Clearance from walls, fences and overhanging branches
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

Working with your venue
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Step by step
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. At midsummer, it is light in Martin 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.
- Show us the garden or drive.
- We confirm it works and send a quote.
- On the day, we roast slowly under cover.
- Our staff serve rolls and sides.
- We clear up so you do not have to.
Before we arrive
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Gather dietary requirements early

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.

Questions from Martin
Is Martin 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.
Can you cater after a service at Church of All Saints?
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 normally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
Can you cater in Martin?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Martin and Hampshire. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You will get allergen details for everything.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a buffet, a hog roast is hot and freshly carved, and nothing sits out all afternoon. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why book with us
- An itemised quote
- A choice of salads and potatoes
