Party hog roast in North Charford, carved to order
A party hog roast turns a garden party into an occasion. We set up in your garden or on the drive, roast slowly for hours and carve when you are ready, so you can enjoy your own party. Typical bookings include close and cul-de-sac parties and 18th, 21st, 40th, 50th and 60th birthdays, serving coleslaw, rotisserie chicken and jacket potatoes.
A country party near North Charford is perfect for a hog roast: roasted all afternoon and carved on the lawn. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your guests.
About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg.
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.

North Charford questions
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is North Charford too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
What about the neighbours?
A friendly word helps: the roast cooks for hours and the smell travels. They may want a roll.
Do we need a marquee for a party hog roast?
The roaster has its own cover; plan shelter for guests in bad weather.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We’ll bring the rest.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
How the day works
The roaster is gas-fired, so we do not need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. At midsummer, it’s light in North Charford until about 9:25pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.

Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Add a dietary question to the invite
Our chef carves and our staff serve at the agreed time, then tidy up.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
Is a hog roast right for your party?
Compared with a buffet, a hog roast is hot and freshly carved, and nothing sits out all afternoon. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What you get with us
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- No surprises: everything in writing

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
