Party hog roast in Minley
The process
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. A summer party in Minley stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- You tell us the date, your address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check the space and send a clear quote.
- On the day we arrive hours ahead and start the roast under cover.
- We carve and serve at the agreed time.
- We pack away and leave the garden tidy.
How to prepare
- Let us know about tight access
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

What we serve, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, with gluten-free rolls on request.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing generally contains gluten
- Think about children’s portions
- Request gluten-free rolls
At food time, we carve and serve, then tidy up.
Sides turn rolls into a proper party meal.
