Party hog roast for Rowner
DIY versus a catered hog roast
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Party hog roast near Rowner
Plan where the roaster will go: level ground outdoors, clear of the house and fences. We will check it with you. We are often asked to cater christenings and retirement celebrations, serving rotisserie chicken, a vegan burger or sausage and apple sauce.
In a place like Rowner, a party at home is usually the easiest option. Let us know how we reach the garden, and we’ll bring everything else. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you’re not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.
What happens on the day
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. For an evening party in Rowner, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September it is around 7:10pm. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the space and send a price.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Preparing for the day

- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Think about shelter for your guests

Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:

- Think about children’s portions
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
If the party runs late, the roast can wait a little, so tell us if timings change.
