Party hog roast in Potter's Green
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Party hog roast in Potter's Green, slow-roasted on site
A party hog roast turns a garden party into an occasion. We set up in your garden or on the drive, roast slowly for hours and carve when you are ready, so you can enjoy your own party. We serve coleslaw, jacket potatoes and crackling, and we are regularly asked to cater neighbourhood parties and ruby, golden and diamond anniversaries.
A country party near Potter's Green is perfect for a hog roast: roasted all afternoon and carved on the lawn. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. Timings are planned around your party, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
