Party hog roast in Puttenham, slow-roasted on site
A big birthday deserves a centrepiece, and a hog roast in the garden fits the bill. The smell sets the mood. On the menu are hog roast rolls, apple sauce and crackling, and typical bookings are for summer parties in the garden and close and cul-de-sac parties.
A country party near Puttenham is perfect for a hog roast: slow-roasted and eaten outside. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.
What the cooking area needs
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors for guests if it rains
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- A level patio, lawn or driveway
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
Popular choices
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Jacket potatoes
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Crackling
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
- Salads
- Rotisserie chicken
- Hog roast rolls
- Coleslaw
Prices and what affects them
Your quote depends on:
- Numbers
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Travel to Puttenham
- How easy it is to reach the spot
The main driver is numbers: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Getting an accurate quote
To get the best quote, tell us:
- Roughly how many people
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- The address or postcode

Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Puttenham
How far is Puttenham from London?
Roughly 32 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St John the Baptist: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
We tidy the serving area, so there’s very little washing up.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
What comes with the hog roast?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Do you cover Puttenham?
Yes, Puttenham is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will check the date.
What comes off the roaster
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and there’s a piece for everyone who wants it.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.

Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
If the party runs late, the roast can wait a little, so tell us if timings change.
Add chicken for younger or fussier guests.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
