How our party hog roast works in North Crawley
A party at home needs a little planning for the roaster: a level spot away from the house and trees, under cover. We’ll help you choose. On the menu are a vegan burger or sausage, rotisserie chicken and coleslaw, and we’re often booked for engagement parties and reunions.
Country parties near North Crawley suit a hog roast: roasted all afternoon and carved on the lawn. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing typically contains gluten
- Add a dietary question to the invite
On the day, we arrive hours before the party starts, so the smell is the first thing guests notice.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.

Working with your venue
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
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’ll deal with on the day. We will keep everyone in the loop.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A heads-up for next door
- Parking close to the house
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
