Party hog roast in North Fareham, slow-roasted on site
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. Popular choices include rotisserie chicken, jacket potatoes and crackling, and we are frequently booked for engagement celebrations and 18th, 21st, 40th, 50th and 60th birthdays.
Near North Fareham, parties are often in gardens or fields. Let us know about access, and we will plan the route. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve.
Full catering or machine hire?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
Clear the route to the garden before we arrive, so we can wheel the equipment in.
Ask about china for a sit-down party, at extra cost.
North Fareham: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like North Fareham?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
What’s included?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
How do we prepare?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will confirm the space with your quote.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Is a hog roast right for your party?
Next to ordering takeaway, a hog roast is part of the party, not just the food. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
