How the day works
Here’s how the day normally runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. Evening parties in Penton Mewsey need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late September it’s around 7:10pm. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.
- Tell us about your party: date, address and numbers.
- We check the space and send a price.
- We set up hours ahead.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand

Looking after everyone
Some guests won’t eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
Clear the route to the garden before we arrive, so we can wheel the equipment in.
Bunting or festoon lights near the serving table make a lovely party setting.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Crockery choices
- The number of people
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Which meats and sides you choose
Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. Every event gets its own quote, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting an accurate quote
Here’s what we will ask:
- Any venue rules
- The venue or postcode
- An estimate of numbers
- What the outdoor space is like
Every party is quoted on its own, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Ask us for a quote for your party: use our quote form.
Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
