Party hog roast in Shere
Party hog roast in Shere, carved to order
A hog roast works for street parties as well, with the right permissions. Whether it is wedding anniversaries and retirement parties, we will put together a menu of crackling, apple sauce and hog roast rolls.
In a small place like Shere, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will handle the rest. 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.
Planners, venues and businesses
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
What the cooking area needs
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Before booking, check:
- Space for our vehicle near the drive
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat

What a hog roast costs
Each price is built from:
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Site access
- The number of people
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
Details that help

- The date and when you’d like to eat
- A picture of the cooking area
- Your menu choices
- Rules from the venue or landowner
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so it is easy to compare like for like. Send us your details through our quote form.

A closer look at the menu
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.

Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Let us know roughly how many children
Have a word with the neighbours first: roasting takes hours and the smell travels.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
The process
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Autumn parties in Shere get dark early: about 7:05pm by late September and 3:55pm by December. Light the garden path and the serving area.
- Tell us about your party: date, address and numbers.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Think about shelter for your guests
