Party hog roast for Plaitford Green
Party hog roast in Plaitford Green, slow-roasted on site
Throwing a party is hard work. A hog roast takes the food off your list: we cook, carve and serve. On the menu are crackling, hog roast rolls and coleslaw, and we are regularly asked to cater engagement parties and anniversary parties.
In a small place like Plaitford Green, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll plan the route. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish before you book.

- Neighbours warned about the smell
- Parking close to the house
- A side gate or passage wide enough to wheel the equipment
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Questions from Plaitford Green
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Leonard: can you cater?
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.
What’s the nearest station to Plaitford Green?
The closest is Mottisfont & Dunbridge station, roughly 3.5 miles away.
Should we warn the neighbours?
Let them know in advance, especially if the roaster is near a fence.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
We tidy the serving area.
What about kids?
Yes, and tell us how many children are coming, so we get the amounts right.
Can we just hire the roaster?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
How the day works
Serving is straightforward: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. In Plaitford Green, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:25pm, so an early-evening carve is usually in daylight. After about 4:00pm in December, we need light to carve.
