Party hog roast for Shenington
Working with your venue
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We will fit in with site rules.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
About our party hog roast in Shenington
A party hog roast turns a garden party into an occasion. We set up in your garden or on the drive, roast slowly for hours and carve when you’re ready, so you’re not stuck in the kitchen. We are often asked to cater getting-engaged parties and ruby, golden and diamond anniversaries, serving crackling, coleslaw and jacket potatoes.
Country parties near Shenington suit a hog roast: roasted all afternoon and carved on the lawn. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.

How it works
Here’s how the day usually runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. In Shenington, late May sunsets come at about 9:00pm and midsummer ones at about 9:30pm, so an early-evening carve is typically in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:55pm, need lights by the roaster.

Catered or do it yourself?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
About the food
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.

Shenington questions
We are gathering after a service at Church of Holy Trinity: 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. Send us the address.
Is Shenington too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Where does the hog roast go?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.
What about kids?
Most children like pork in a soft roll, with chicken as an alternative.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Do we need a marquee for a party hog roast?
The roaster has its own cover; plan shelter for guests in bad weather.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We’ll bring the rest.
Do we need to wash up?
Yes, we clear up after service.
