Party hog roast in Sarisbury, slow-roasted on site
Milestone birthdays call for something special, and a whole hog roasting in the garden is exactly that. The smell sets the mood. Popular choices include coleslaw, a vegan burger or sausage and crackling, and typical bookings are for retirement celebrations and street parties.
Around Sarisbury, a garden with room to spare is all you need. It suits that kind of party. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Step by step
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. The smell generally brings people over long before we carve. In Sarisbury, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so an early-evening carve is usually in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 4:00pm, need lights by the roaster.

Why choose a hog roast in Sarisbury?

Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we’ll plan the vegan burgers or sausages.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.
Full catering or machine hire?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
