How our party hog roast works in Nash
A party hog roast turns a garden party into an occasion. We roast on site in Nash, then carve at the time you choose, so you can enjoy your own party. We’re frequently asked to cater street parties and engagement celebrations, serving coleslaw, a vegan burger or sausage and jacket potatoes.
Country parties near Nash suit a hog roast: roasted all afternoon and carved on the lawn. Plan shelter in case it rains. The hog is roasted on site at your party, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your guests.
How the day works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. Sunset in Nash is about 8:45pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June, so most summer parties eat in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:50pm, need lights by the roaster.

Nash questions
We are gathering after a service at Elmstone Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do you come out to small places like Nash?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Should we warn the neighbours?
A friendly word helps: roasting takes hours. They may want a roll.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
Is our garden suitable?
Most gardens can work, given access for the equipment. Send us a photo.
Can we cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. Most people prefer us to cook so they can enjoy the party.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
