How our party hog roast works in Send Marsh
Milestone birthdays call for something special, and a hog roast in the garden fits the bill. The smell sets the mood. Typical bookings include christenings and naming days and ruby, golden and diamond anniversaries, serving rotisserie chicken, jacket potatoes and hog roast rolls.
Near Send Marsh, parties are often in gardens or fields. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll plan the route. You’ll know what’s included before booking: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing typically contains gluten
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Find out who does not eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
On the day, we arrive hours before the party starts, so it is cooking when guests arrive.
Add chicken for younger or fussier guests.
What the cooking area needs
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
- Clearance from walls, fences and overhanging branches
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors for guests if it rains
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

What happens on the day
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. In Send Marsh, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so an early-evening carve is generally in daylight. After about 3:55pm in December, we need light to carve.
