Party hog roast in Mount Pleasant, carved to order
If you’d rather cook yourself, DIY machine hire is an option. Most people choose the catered option, so they can enjoy the party. For close and cul-de-sac parties and big birthday parties, we’ll put together a menu of coleslaw, crackling and a vegan burger or sausage.
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 will plan the route. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.
The menu, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.

The process
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you are ready. A summer party in Mount Pleasant stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:00pm; add lights for the evening.

Mount Pleasant questions
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
How far is Mount Pleasant from London?
About 62 miles from central London.
Do we need a marquee for a party hog roast?
We cover the cooking area, but a gazebo or indoor space for guests is a good backup.
What do people get?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
Can you do a hog roast in our back garden?
Tell us about the garden and the access, and we will tell you if it works.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Before you choose a spot
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- A step-free way into the garden
- Somewhere for us to park nearby
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

For event organisers in Mount Pleasant
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We’ll keep you both updated.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Looking after everyone
Some guests will not eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing typically contains gluten
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
If the party runs late, the roast can wait a little, so just let us know.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
