About our party hog roast in Pipsden
Throwing a party is hard work. A hog roast takes the food off your list: we cook, carve and serve. For getting-engaged parties and family reunions, we can cook crackling, apple sauce and jacket potatoes for your guests.
Country parties near Pipsden suit a hog roast: roasted all afternoon and carved on the lawn. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Questions from Pipsden
Can you cater after a service at Church of All Saints?
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 generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is Pipsden too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you cover Pipsden?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will check the date.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
We bring plates and clear up after service.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat is not something we offer.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
