A hog roast near Mousehill
Full catering or machine hire?
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.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.

Mousehill questions
Can you do a hog roast in Rodborough Common?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you cater after a service at St John the Evangelist's Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is our garden suitable?
Describe the space and the way in, and we’ll tell you if it works.
What about the neighbours?
It is worth warning them: roasting takes hours. They may want a roll.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. We will explain the details with your quote.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
Why choose a hog roast in Mousehill?
Next to a party buffet, a hog roast is hot and freshly carved. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.

- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Add a dietary question to the invite
We get there early to start the roast, so it is cooking when guests arrive.
