About our party hog roast in Shipton Bellinger
A hog roast works for street parties as well, once the road closure or permission is in place. We serve crackling, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls, and we are regularly asked to cater getting-engaged parties and 18th, 21st, 40th, 50th and 60th birthdays.
A country party near Shipton Bellinger is perfect for a hog roast: roasted all afternoon and carved on the lawn. Plan shelter in case it rains. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you’re not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.
The process
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. A summer party in Shipton Bellinger stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We tidy up and pack away.
How to prepare
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages

We are gathering after a service at Church of St Peter: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.

Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Do we need a marquee for a party hog roast?
Not for the cooking, but plan somewhere dry for guests.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
