How our party hog roast works in Oakley
A hog roast works for street parties as well, with the right permissions. Whether it is leaving and retirement do’s and naming ceremonies, we can cook rotisserie chicken, apple sauce and a vegan burger or sausage.
For a party in Oakley, home is often the best venue. Tell us about the drive and the garden, and we’ll bring everything else. The hog is roasted on site at your party, slowly, over several hours.
Looking after everyone
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
A cooked roast holds for a while, so tell us if timings change.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, roasted until golden.
Is a hog roast right for your party?
Compared with a buffet, hot carved pork feels more special. For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why us?
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Timed around your day
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
How it works
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. For an evening party in Oakley, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late September it’s around 7:10pm. Lights by the food keep the party going.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the space and send a price.
- We set up hours ahead.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Preparing for the day
- Send final numbers in good time
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
