Slow-roasted pork in Mount Pleasant
Party hog roast in Mount Pleasant, carved to order
Rolls are easy for party guests to eat standing up, so hog roast rolls are ideal. Alternatives cover anyone who does not eat pork. Whether it’s summer parties in the garden and christenings and naming days, we will put together a menu of crackling, rotisserie chicken and jacket potatoes.
In a small place like Mount Pleasant, 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. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.
The process
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can get on with your party. In Mount Pleasant, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:25pm, so an early-evening carve is generally in daylight. After about 4:05pm in December, we need light to carve.

How we price a hog roast for your party
Each price is built from:

- Which meats and sides you choose
- The date and time of year
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups normally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Think about children’s portions
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing generally contains gluten
- Request gluten-free rolls
Have a word with the neighbours first: the roast cooks for hours, and they may ask for a roll.
A string of lights by the carving station looks great as it gets dark.
Questions from Mount Pleasant
Can you roast near the sea around Mount Pleasant?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
What’s the nearest station to Mount Pleasant?
Sway station, about 1.6 miles west of the centre.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Should we warn the neighbours?
A friendly word helps: the roast cooks for hours and the smell travels. Some hosts invite them over for a roll.
Do children like hog roasts?
Yes, and tell us how many children are coming, so we can plan quantities.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
