Milestone birthdays call for something special, and a hog roast in the garden fits the bill. The smell sets the mood. For engagement parties and 18th, 21st, 40th, 50th and 60th birthdays, we can cook jacket potatoes, coleslaw and apple sauce for your guests.
Near Oldbury, parties are often in gardens or fields. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will handle the rest. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Think about children’s portions
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Find out who does not eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing typically contains gluten
At food time, we carve and serve, then tidy up.
Ask about china for a sit-down party, quoted separately.
Should I cook it myself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.

Questions from Oldbury
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Peter: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Could you cook in Ivy Hatch Nature Reserve?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Do you serve the food?
You do not need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
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.

Compared with a barbecue, you are not stuck flipping burgers all afternoon, and the food is ready for everyone at once. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.

Organising for someone else?
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.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
