Party hog roast in North Waltham, carved to order
A party at home needs a little planning for the roaster: level ground outdoors, clear of the house and fences. We will help you choose. We serve jacket potatoes, coleslaw and a vegan burger or sausage, and typical bookings are for milestone birthdays and naming ceremonies.
Near North Waltham, parties are frequently in gardens or fields. Let us know about access, and we’ll handle the rest. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Your questions about a hog roast for your party in North Waltham
Is North Waltham too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Is North Waltham close to London?
About 51 miles from central London.
Is clearing up included?
Yes, we clear up after service, so there’s very little washing up.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Can you cater in North Waltham?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will check the date.
Is our garden suitable?
Most gardens can work, given access for the equipment. Send us a photo.
What about kids?
Generally, yes, so we get the amounts right.
Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
Have a word with the neighbours first: the roast cooks for hours, and they may ask for a roll.
Ask about china for a sit-down party, at extra cost.

Planners, venues and businesses
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Catered or do it yourself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
What comes off the roaster
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.
Before you choose a spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- Parking close to the house
- Flat ground in the garden or on the drive
- A step-free way into the garden
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

- Coleslaw
- Crackling

What happens on the day
