Party hog roast in Ramsdell
Party hog roast near Ramsdell
A hog roast works for street parties as well, once the road closure or permission is in place. We serve apple sauce, coleslaw and a vegan burger or sausage, and we are regularly asked to cater engagement celebrations and garden parties.
Country parties near Ramsdell suit a hog roast: roasted all afternoon and carved on the lawn. Plan shelter in case it rains. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
The process
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. Sunset in Ramsdell is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, so an early-evening carve is typically in daylight. After about 4:00pm in December, we need light to carve.

A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a party buffet, a hog roast is hot and freshly carved. The main driver is numbers: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing go with the pork perfectly. Stuffing normally contains gluten.

FAQs for Ramsdell
Do you come out to small places like Ramsdell?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
We’re gathering after a service at Christ Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not provide halal meat.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We’ll bring the rest.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
Should I cook it myself?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
