The menu, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
How our party hog roast works in Pittswood
Plan where the roaster will go: a level spot away from the house and trees, under cover. We will help you choose. Popular choices include hog roast rolls, a vegan burger or sausage and jacket potatoes, and we’re regularly asked to cater big family get-togethers and anniversary parties.
In a small place like Pittswood, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we will plan the route. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.
For planners, venues and organisers
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Why choose a hog roast in Pittswood?
Compared with cooking for everyone yourself, a catered hog roast gives you the day back. The main driver is numbers: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.

- Serving and clearing done for you
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Sides to make it a full meal
- We bring everything to cook and serve

Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
On the day, we arrive hours before the party starts, so the smell is the first thing guests notice.
Add chicken for younger or fussier guests.

Christenings and naming days frequently start at a local church such as St Mary's Church, with a hog roast at home or in a hall afterwards. Nearby historic houses include Old Soar Manor (2.6 miles north) and Ightham Mote (2.9 miles north-west). If you’re hiring a historic venue for a big birthday, check its rules on outside caterers first.
We cover parties in every part of the TN11 postcode area and the streets around it. From High House Lane and Ashes Lane or anywhere nearby, we can set up and roast there.

Catered or do it yourself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Whether you want china
- Site access
- How many people are eating
- Distance from us
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
What to tell us
To check availability and the cooking area, we’ll need:
- The date and time of the event
- What the outdoor space is like
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- The venue or postcode
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.
Step by step
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. In Pittswood, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so an early-evening carve is typically in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:55pm, need lights by the roaster.
- You tell us the date, your address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get a check on the date and the cooking spot, and a quote.
- We arrive in good time and start roasting.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve when you are ready.
- We clear up and pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Let us know about tight access
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
