What we serve, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, turned until the skin is golden.
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.
How our party hog roast works in Porchfield
A big birthday deserves a centrepiece, and a whole hog roasting in the garden is exactly that. The smell sets the mood. Popular choices include apple sauce, rotisserie chicken and a vegan burger or sausage, and we’re regularly asked to cater close and cul-de-sac parties and back-garden get-togethers.
In a small place like Porchfield, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will handle the rest. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish.

Organising for someone else?
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
If you’re a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Is a hog roast right for your party?
Next to doing it all yourself, a catered hog roast gives you the day back. Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. Every event gets its own quote, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
What you get with us
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

Common questions in Porchfield
Do you come out to small places like Porchfield?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Do you come to Porchfield?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Porchfield and the rest of the Isle of Wight included. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Should we warn the neighbours?
Give them a heads-up.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Why choose party hog roast in Porchfield?
Hardly any clearing up, because we bring plates and clear away.
Lots of different events suit a hog roast. Typical bookings include:
- 18th, 21st, 40th, 50th and 60th birthdays
- Reunions
- Back-garden get-togethers
- Close and cul-de-sac parties
Nearby historic houses include Swainston Manor (2.2 miles south) and Carisbrooke Castle (3.2 miles south-east). If you’re hiring a historic venue for a big birthday, check its rules on outside caterers first.

The process
Here’s how the day typically runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you are ready. Evening parties in Porchfield need a little planning: it’s light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:10pm in late September. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.
