About our party hog roast in Mindenhurst
For a christening or naming day in Mindenhurst, a hog roast in the garden feeds the whole family, without anyone stuck cooking. For 18th, 21st, 40th, 50th and 60th birthdays and naming ceremonies, we will put together a menu of apple sauce, jacket potatoes and crackling and more.
A country party near Mindenhurst is perfect for a hog roast: slow-roasted and eaten outside. Plan shelter in case it rains. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Add a dietary question to the invite
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
We set up where we agreed and stay out of the way, so the party carries on around us.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes to make it a full meal.
A closer look at the menu
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a buffet, a hog roast is hot and freshly carved. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
Why book with us
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
