About our party hog roast in Mud Row
For a christening or naming day in Mud Row, a hog roast in the garden feeds the whole family, and nobody misses the celebration. Typical bookings include naming ceremonies and neighbourhood parties, with jacket potatoes, hog roast rolls and crackling.
Country parties near Mud Row suit a hog roast: roasted all afternoon and carved on the lawn. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, roasted until golden.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there is a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so everyone has something hot.
Mud Row questions
Is Mud Row too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
We are gathering after a service at Church of All Saints: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
What’s included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
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.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We will keep everyone in the loop.
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
How it works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook. Evening parties in Mud Row need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:15pm at midsummer, but by late September it’s around 7:00pm. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.
- Send a photo of where the roaster could go.
- We confirm it works and send a quote.
- We cook for hours on site.
- We serve when you are ready.
- We leave the garden tidy.
How to prepare
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
