How our party hog roast works in Smallfield
A party at home needs a little planning for the roaster: level ground outdoors, clear of the house and fences. We’ll check it with you. Popular choices include apple sauce, coleslaw and crackling, and we are regularly asked to cater wedding anniversaries and engagement celebrations.
For a party in Smallfield, home is often the best venue. Let us know how we reach the garden, and we will do the rest. The hog is roasted on site at your party, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your guests.

Why Smallfield hosts choose us
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Planned to your running order

- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it

- Neighbours warned about the smell
- Flat ground in the garden or on the drive
- A spot well away from the house
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
