A hog roast near South Street
About our party hog roast in South Street
For a christening or naming day in South Street, a hog roast at home means everyone eats together, and nobody misses the celebration. Popular choices include rotisserie chicken, jacket potatoes and apple sauce, and we’re frequently booked for wedding anniversaries and big family get-togethers.
Near South Street, parties are often in gardens or fields. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll handle the rest. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Plates or china
- The journey to the venue
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
Details that help
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- What the outdoor space is like
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Your menu choices
- Where the event is
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the party is and roughly how many. A photo of the cooking area helps. Use our quote form.

About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing make the roll, just as they should.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
The process
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can enjoy your party. In South Street, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so most summer parties eat in daylight. After about 3:50pm in December, we need light to carve.

What else we do in South Street
Should I cook it myself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
