Party hog roast for Punnett's Town

DIY versus a catered hog roast

Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.

Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.

Party hog roast near Punnett's Town

Hosting a party means juggling everything at once. With a hog roast, the food is sorted: we cook, carve and serve. Typical bookings include summer parties in the garden and retirement celebrations, with coleslaw, crackling and a vegan burger or sausage.

Country parties near Punnett's Town suit a hog roast: roasted all afternoon and carved on the lawn. Plan shelter in case it rains. Timings are planned around your party, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Planning for dietary needs

Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:

  • Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
  • Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
  • Keep the vegetarian option labelled
  • Let us know roughly how many children

On the day, we arrive hours before the party starts, so the smell is the first thing guests notice.

China crockery is available on request, at extra cost.

About the food

Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)

A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, in a roll, with salad on the side.

Roast pork

Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.

How to compare hog roast caterers

How the day works

Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. A summer party in Punnett's Town stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:00pm; add lights for the evening.

  1. Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
  2. We check the space and send a price.
  3. We set up hours ahead.
  4. At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
  5. We clear the serving area and go.

Preparing for the day

  • Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
  • Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
  • Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
