Party hog roast in Popley, carved to order
Throwing a party is hard work. With a hog roast, the food is sorted: we roast, carve, serve and clear. We serve a vegan burger or sausage, jacket potatoes and hog roast rolls, and we are frequently booked for getting-engaged parties and street parties.
In a place like Popley, a party at home is normally the easiest option. Let us know how we reach the garden, and we’ll do the rest. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.

Should I cook it myself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
