Party hog roast in Middleton, carved to order
A hog roast works for street parties as well, once the road closure or permission is in place. We’re frequently asked to cater getting-engaged parties and anniversary parties, with rotisserie chicken, crackling and jacket potatoes.
A country party near Middleton is perfect for a hog roast: slow-roasted and eaten outside. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

Prices and what affects them
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Menu choices and extras
- The number of people
- The journey to the venue
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- An estimate of numbers
- The venue or postcode
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Dietary requirements
It’s easy to get a price: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We will reply with a clear price and what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.
What happens on the day
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. A summer party in Middleton stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the space and send a price.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Give us a contact number for the day

Space, access and the venue

- Neighbours warned about the smell
- Access for the roaster through a gate or passage
- Flat ground in the garden or on the drive

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Middleton questions
Is Middleton 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.
Which station is closest to Middleton?
Whitchurch (Hampshire) station, about 3.7 miles north-east of the centre.
What about the neighbours?
Give them a heads-up, especially if the roaster is near a fence.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We’ll bring the rest.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Can you cater in Middleton?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Middleton and the rest of Hampshire included. Send us the address for a quote.
Is mains power needed?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
Is a hog roast right for your party?
Next to a barbecue, no one gets stuck at the grill, and the food is ready for everyone at once. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
