How our party hog roast works in Priestwood
For a relaxed party, you can hire the machine and cook it yourself. Most people choose the catered option, and spend time with their guests. Whether it is reunions and anniversary parties, we will put together a menu of jacket potatoes, rotisserie chicken and apple sauce and more.
Near Priestwood, parties are often in gardens or fields. Let us know about access, and we will plan the route. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve.
Priestwood: your questions answered
Could you cook in Camer Park Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
How far is Priestwood from London?
About 22 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a photo if you’re unsure.
What about the neighbours?
Give them a heads-up, especially if the roaster is near a fence.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
For event organisers in Priestwood
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.

The process
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. For an evening party in Priestwood, think about light: it is light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:00pm in late September. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.

- We clear up so you do not have to.
Preparing for the day

DIY versus a catered hog roast
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
Make sure the gate or side passage is open when we arrive, so we can wheel the equipment in.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
