Shopwyke: your questions answered
We are gathering after a service at The Parish Church of St Peter: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Can you roast near the sea around Shopwyke?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Is clearing up included?
Plates come as standard and our staff clear the serving area.
Can you do a hog roast in our back garden?
Describe the space and the way in, and we’ll tell you if it works.
Is a hog roast good for a children’s party?
Yes, and tell us how many children are coming, so we can plan quantities.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. We’ll explain the details with your quote.

How it works
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. At midsummer, it’s light in Shopwyke until about 9:20pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Show us the garden or drive.
- We check the space and quote.
- We cook for hours on site.
- Our staff serve rolls and sides.
- We clear up so you don’t have to.
Preparing for the day
- Name a contact for the day
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees

The menu, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing make the roll, just as they should.
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and there is a piece for everyone who wants it.
Organising for someone else?
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
At food time, we carve and serve, then clear up the serving area.
A string of lights by the carving station looks great as it gets dark.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
