Party hog roast in Southington
Party hog roast in Southington, carved to order
Plan where the roaster will go: a level spot away from the house and trees, under cover. We’ll help you choose. For milestone birthdays and retirement parties, we can cook crackling, coleslaw and apple sauce.
In a small place like Southington, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll handle the rest. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
Should I cook it myself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Before you choose a spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- Somewhere for us to park nearby
- A heads-up for next door
- A spot well away from the house
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.

What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The number of people
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Access to the cooking area
- Which meats and sides you choose
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.

Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Add a dietary question to the invite
- Think about children’s portions
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
We set up in the agreed spot, leaving the garden to you and your guests.
China crockery is available on request, at extra cost.
What happens on the day
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. By late September, sunset in Southington is about 7:10pm; by December it is about 4:00pm. Plan lights for the path and the food.
