Party hog roast in North End, carved to order
A party hog roast turns a garden party into an occasion. We roast on site in North End, then carve at the time you choose, so you can enjoy your own party. On the menu are hog roast rolls, coleslaw and crackling, and we’re regularly asked to cater street parties and big birthday parties.
For a party in North End, home is frequently the best venue. Tell us about the drive and the garden, and we will bring everything else. The hog is roasted on site at your party, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.

A closer look at the menu
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: grilled halloumi with vegetables.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to doing it all yourself, a catered hog roast gives you the day back. The main driver is numbers: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why North End hosts choose us
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- Served at the time you choose
- Carved to order by a chef

Where the roaster can go in North End
Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- Flat ground in the garden or on the drive
- Access for the roaster through a gate or passage
- A spot well away from the house
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
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.
Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Think about children’s portions
At food time, we carve and serve, then clear up the serving area.
A string of lights by the carving station looks great as it gets dark.
Questions from North End
Can you do a hog roast in Alexandra Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Is North End close to London?
Roughly 64 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What about kids?
Yes, and tell us how many children are coming, so we get the amounts right.
What comes with the hog roast?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
Do we need a marquee for a party hog roast?
The roaster has its own cover; plan shelter for guests in bad weather.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
How we price a hog roast for your party
The price comes down to:
- Season and day of the week
- How many people are eating
- The journey to the venue
- How easy it is to reach the spot
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Where the event is
- Any venue rules
- Any dietary needs or allergies
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so you can compare caterers fairly. Use our quote form.
