How our party hog roast works in Monk Sherborne
For a relaxed party, you can hire the machine and cook it yourself. Most people choose the catered option, and spend time with their guests. We’re frequently asked to cater garden parties and anniversary parties, with hog roast rolls, rotisserie chicken and a vegan burger or sausage.
Near Monk Sherborne, parties are frequently in gardens or fields. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll plan the route. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.
Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
The menu, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Vegan guests can have a vegan burger or sausage, so everyone has something hot.

Questions from Monk Sherborne
Is Monk Sherborne too small for a hog roast?

The closest is Basingstoke station, roughly 3.1 miles away.
What happens after service?

What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information.

Yes, for confident cooks. Most people prefer us to cook so they can enjoy the party.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
