About our party hog roast in Southford
If you’d rather cook yourself, DIY machine hire is an option. Most people choose the catered option, and spend time with their guests. We are frequently asked to cater leaving and retirement do’s and big family get-togethers, with apple sauce, crackling and rotisserie chicken.
Country parties near Southford suit a hog roast: roasted all afternoon and carved on the lawn. Plan shelter in case it rains. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Planning for dietary needs
Some guests will not eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
We set up where we agreed and stay out of the way, so the party carries on around us.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes to make it a full meal.
A closer look at the menu
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken can be served in a roll or on a plate.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, served in a roll with salads.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
What happens on the day
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. At midsummer, it’s light in Southford until about 9:20pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.
- Send a picture of where the roaster could go.
- We check the space and quote.
- We cook for hours on site.
- Our staff serve rolls and sides.
- We leave the garden tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance

Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors are:
- The journey to the venue
- Which meats and sides you choose
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Whether you want china
Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
What to tell us
These are the details we need:
- Where the event is
- Your date and serving time
- Any venue rules
- A photo of the cooking area
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so you can compare caterers fairly. Fill in our quote form.
Working with your venue
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Why choose a hog roast in Southford?
Compared with a barbecue, no one gets stuck at the grill, and everyone eats together. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
What you get with us
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Carved to order by a chef
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
