How our party hog roast works in Speenhamland
Plan where the roaster will go: a level spot away from the house and trees, under cover. We’ll check it with you. Popular choices include jacket potatoes, rotisserie chicken and a vegan burger or sausage, and we’re often booked for wedding anniversaries and back-garden get-togethers.
In a place like Speenhamland, a party at home is usually the easiest option. Tell us about the drive and the garden, and we will do the rest. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

Speenhamland: your questions answered
Can you cater after a service at St Nicolas Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Is Speenhamland close to London?
Roughly 53 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Do children like hog roasts?
Generally, yes, so we can plan quantities.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Should we warn the neighbours?
It is worth warning them: roasting takes hours. Some hosts invite them over for a roll.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Where the roaster can go in Speenhamland
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Before booking, check:
- Clearance from walls, fences and overhanging branches
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat
- A level patio, lawn or driveway
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
