Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue, no one gets stuck at the grill, and everyone eats together. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
What you get with us
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Crackling for everyone who wants it

Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Sandford
Do you come out to small places like Sandford?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
We’re gathering after a service at All Saints' Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We don’t provide halal meat.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
Do you cover Sandford?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will confirm availability.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.
Do we need cover?
The roaster has its own cover; guests will want somewhere dry to eat if it rains.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Think about children’s portions
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
If the party runs late, the roast can wait a little, so just let us know.
Add chicken for younger or fussier guests.
Working with your venue
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
How it works
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. For an evening party in Sandford, think about light: it’s light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:10pm in late September. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.

- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
