Party hog roast in Pachesham Park, slow-roasted on site
Plan where the roaster will go: a level spot away from the house and trees, under cover. We will check it with you. Typical bookings include milestone birthdays and street parties, with jacket potatoes, hog roast rolls and crackling.
A country party near Pachesham Park is perfect for a hog roast: slow-roasted and eaten outside. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

What we serve, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed can be served in a roll or on a plate alongside the pork.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
The process
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. For an evening party in Pachesham Park, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September it is around 7:05pm. Lights by the food keep the party going.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- 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
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival

Allergies and dietary needs
Some guests will not eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing usually contains gluten
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork for the alternatives
On the day, we arrive hours before the party starts, so it’s cooking when guests arrive.
