How our party hog roast works in Micheldever
Throwing a party is hard work. A hog roast takes the food off your list: we cook, carve and serve. Whether it is ruby, golden and diamond anniversaries and summer parties in the garden, we’ll put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, apple sauce and crackling.
Near Micheldever, parties are frequently in gardens or fields. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will handle the rest. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

What else we do in Micheldever
Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Add a dietary question to the invite
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
A cooked roast holds for a while, so tell us if timings change.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

Micheldever: your questions answered
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
How far is Micheldever from London?
Roughly 56 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will talk it through when we quote.
Do we need a marquee for a party hog roast?
We bring cover for the roaster; plan shelter for guests in bad weather.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What do people get?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Can you do a hog roast in our back garden?
Most gardens can work, given access for the equipment. Send us a picture.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll check it with you before booking.
Catered or do it yourself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.
