Why choose party hog roast in Penhurst?
You are a host, not a cook, because we do the cooking and serving.
However big or small the event in Penhurst, a slow roast goes a long way. We’re often asked to cater:
- Big birthday parties
- Ruby, golden and diamond anniversaries
- Engagement celebrations
- Big family get-togethers
After a christening at a church like The Parish Church of St Michael, a hog roast in the garden is an easy way to feed family and friends.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Where the roaster can go in Penhurst
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Space for our vehicle near the drive
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors for guests if it rains
- Access for the roaster through a gate or passage

What happens on the day
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Sunset in Penhurst is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June, so an early-evening carve is normally in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:55pm, need lights by the roaster.
- Send us your party date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check the space and send a clear quote.
- We arrive in good time and start roasting.
- When it’s time to eat, the chef carves and we serve.
- Afterwards we tidy up the serving area.
How to prepare
- Name a contact for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
