Party hog roast for Palm Bay
Palm Bay: your questions answered
How far is Palm Bay from London?
About 65 miles from central London, and well within our area.
We are gathering after a service at St Philip: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But it’s always worth asking: use our quote form.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
What about the neighbours?
Let them know in advance.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Can we hire the hog roast machine for our party?
Yes, for confident cooks. Most people prefer us to cook so they can enjoy the party.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Party hog roast in Palm Bay, carved to order
For a relaxed party, you can hire the machine and cook it yourself. Most hosts prefer us to do it, and spend time with their guests. For street parties and 18th, 21st, 40th, 50th and 60th birthdays, we can cook hog roast rolls, coleslaw and crackling for your guests.
A country party near Palm Bay is perfect for a hog roast: slow-roasted and eaten outside. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- Space for our vehicle near the drive
- A spot well away from the house
- A side gate or passage wide enough to wheel the equipment
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

- What the price includes, item by item
How it works
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. Sunset in Palm Bay is about 8:45pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June, so an early-evening carve is usually in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:50pm, need lights by the roaster.
- Tell us about your party: date, address and numbers.
- 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
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before

A closer look at the menu
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.

Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing usually contains gluten
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
Clear the route to the garden before we arrive, so we can bring everything through.
Rotisserie chicken is popular at family parties.
