A hog roast near Minster
Looking after everyone
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing typically contains gluten
- Request gluten-free rolls
Make sure the gate or side passage is open when we arrive, so we can bring everything through.
Bunting or festoon lights near the serving table make a lovely party setting.
About our party hog roast in Minster
Street parties and neighbourhood get-togethers suit a hog roast too, once the road closure or permission is in place. We’re often asked to cater engagement celebrations and street parties, serving hog roast rolls, crackling and a vegan burger or sausage.
A country party near Minster is perfect for a hog roast: slow-roasted and eaten outside. Plan shelter in case it rains. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.
What we serve, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal, especially at a sit-down event.
Organising for someone else?
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Space, access and the venue
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- A step-free way into the garden
- A level patio, lawn or driveway
- A heads-up for next door
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

Full catering or machine hire?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
