Party hog roast in Picket Piece
Party hog roast in Picket Piece, slow-roasted on site
Rolls are easy for party guests to eat standing up, so hog roast rolls are ideal. Chicken and vegetarian options keep everyone happy. Popular choices include a vegan burger or sausage, crackling and hog roast rolls, and we are frequently booked for wedding anniversaries and garden parties.
In a place like Picket Piece, a party at home is generally the easiest option. Tell us about the drive and the garden, and we will bring everything else. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish before booking.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing typically contains gluten
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
At food time, we carve and serve, then clear up the serving area.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Crockery choices
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Access to the cooking area
- How long the roast and service take

Should I cook it myself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
