About our party hog roast in Shootash
Rolls are easy for party guests to eat standing up, and pork rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling are just that. Chicken and vegetarian options keep everyone happy. We serve crackling, rotisserie chicken and coleslaw, and we are regularly asked to cater close and cul-de-sac parties and anniversary parties.
Country parties near Shootash suit a hog roast: slow-roasted and eaten outside. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. Timings are planned around your party, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.
Where the roaster can go in Shootash
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A side gate or passage wide enough to wheel the equipment
- A word with the neighbours
- Somewhere for us to park nearby
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.

The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and there’s a piece for everyone who wants it.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.

What happens on the day
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Sunset in Shootash is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, so an early-evening carve is typically in daylight. After about 4:00pm in December, we need light to carve.
