Party hog roast in Sidlow
How the day works
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. At midsummer, it is light in Sidlow until about 9:20pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- You tell us the date, your address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check the date and the garden or drive, then send a quote.
- We arrive in good time and start roasting.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve when you’re ready.
- We pack away and leave the garden tidy.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Let us know about tight access
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

About our party hog roast in Sidlow
A party at home needs a little planning for the roaster: a level spot away from the house and trees, under cover. We will help you choose. We’re frequently asked to cater getting-engaged parties and christenings and naming days, serving jacket potatoes, hog roast rolls and crackling.
In a small place like Sidlow, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we will handle the rest. You will know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
If the party runs late, the roast can wait a little, so just let us know.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes to make it a full meal.

How we price a hog roast for your party
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Access to the cooking area
- How many people are eating
- The journey to the venue
- Which meats and sides you choose
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.

To check availability and the cooking area, we’ll need:
- Roughly how many people
- Your date and serving time
- Any venue rules
- The venue or postcode
When you are weighing up caterers, ask each one exactly what’s included. Ours lists it clearly. For a quote, use our quote form.
Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Sidlow
Can you do a hog roast in Earlswood Common?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Which station is closest to Sidlow?
Salfords station, about 1.8 miles east of the centre.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
Plates come as standard and our staff clear the serving area.
What about the neighbours?
A friendly word helps: the roast cooks for hours and the smell travels. They may want a roll.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Planners, venues and businesses
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
The menu, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.
