Party hog roast in Soake, slow-roasted on site
Milestone birthdays call for something special, and a whole hog roasting in the garden is exactly that. Your guests will smell it from the street. Whether it’s christenings and naming days and leaving and retirement do’s, we will put together a menu of jacket potatoes, coleslaw and crackling and more.
Near Soake, parties are often in gardens or fields. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.
Catered or do it yourself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Organising for someone else?
If you’re a venue or event planner, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.

How the day works
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. For an evening party in Soake, think about light: it’s light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:10pm in late September. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.
