Party hog roast in Shabbington, slow-roasted on site
Hosting a party means juggling everything at once. With a hog roast, the food is sorted: we roast, carve, serve and clear. For retirement parties and back-garden get-togethers, we will put together a menu of a vegan burger or sausage, jacket potatoes and coleslaw.
A country party near Shabbington is perfect for a hog roast: slow-roasted and eaten outside. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Catered or do it yourself?
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.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
What a hog roast costs
Things that change the price:
- Whether you want china
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Travel to Shabbington
- How many people are eating
Distance is part of the price: travel is included in your quote, with any London charges listed. Give us the address so the quote is accurate.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Rough numbers
- Any venue rules
- The date and when you’d like to eat
To get a quote, just tell us the date, where the party is and roughly how many. A picture of the cooking area helps. Send us your details through our quote form.
What happens on the day
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. A summer party in Shabbington stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the space and send a price.
- We set up hours ahead.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.
How to prepare
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking

Planning help
Working with your venue
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.

Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Think about children’s portions
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
On the day, we arrive hours before the party starts, so the smell is the first thing guests notice.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes to make it a full meal.

We’re gathering after a service at Parish Church of St Mary Magdalene: can you cater?
