Party hog roast near Monk's Gate
A party at home needs a little planning for the roaster: level ground outdoors, clear of the house and fences. We will help you choose. We serve jacket potatoes, coleslaw and crackling, and we’re regularly asked to cater getting-engaged parties and close and cul-de-sac parties.
In a small place like Monk's Gate, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll handle the rest. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a barbecue, you’re not stuck flipping burgers all afternoon, and everyone eats together. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why book our hog roast in Monk's Gate
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests

How the day works
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking does not depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. In Monk's Gate, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so an early-evening carve is generally in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:55pm, need lights by the roaster.
