How our party hog roast works in Pitland Street
A hog roast works for street parties as well, once the road closure or permission is in place. We serve crackling, hog roast rolls and jacket potatoes, and we are regularly asked to cater neighbourhood parties and leaving and retirement do’s.
In a small place like Pitland Street, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we will plan the route. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
Common questions in Pitland Street
Can you do a hog roast in Wotton and Abinger Commons?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Do you come out to small places like Pitland Street?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Will a hog roast fit in our garden?
Most gardens can work, and a way to wheel the equipment through. A picture helps.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so tell us your best estimate. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Do we need a marquee for a party hog roast?
Not for the cooking, but plan somewhere dry for guests.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a photo if you’re unsure.

Questions to ask before booking
- The deposit, balance and cancellation terms
- Travel and any London charges
- What the price includes, item by item
- Where the roaster goes and what it needs
Catered or do it yourself?
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.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
How we price a hog roast for your party
The biggest factors are:
- The date and time of year
- Access to the cooking area
- How long the roast and service take
- Crockery choices
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups generally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

- Rules from the venue or landowner
