Book a hog roast in Sheepdrove
Catered or do it yourself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Party hog roast in Sheepdrove, carved to order
A party at home needs a little planning for the roaster: a level spot away from the house and trees, under cover. We will help you choose. Typical bookings include summer parties in the garden and ruby, golden and diamond anniversaries, serving coleslaw, a vegan burger or sausage and hog roast rolls.
In a small place like Sheepdrove, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we will handle the rest. Timings are planned around your party, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Sheepdrove questions
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Michael and All Angels: 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.
Is Sheepdrove too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we’ll check.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
Do we need cover?
We cover the cooking area, but plan somewhere dry for guests.
How much does a hog roast cost?

The process
Your timings come first. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change. At midsummer, it is light in Sheepdrove until about 9:25pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.
- You tell us the date, your address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check the date and the garden or drive, then send a quote.
- We arrive in good time and start roasting.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve when you are ready.
- We clear up and pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Send final numbers in good time
