How our party hog roast works in St Ann's Green
Street parties and neighbourhood get-togethers suit a hog roast too, with the right permissions. Whether it is anniversary parties and big birthday parties, we can cook a vegan burger or sausage, rotisserie chicken and apple sauce and more.
Country parties near St Ann's Green suit a hog roast: roasted all afternoon and carved on the lawn. Plan shelter in case it rains. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing usually contains gluten
We set up where we agreed and stay out of the way, so the party carries on around us.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
For event organisers in St Ann's Green
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We’ll keep you both updated.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.

Step by step
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. In St Ann's Green, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:15pm, so most summer parties eat in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:50pm, need lights by the roaster.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the space and send a price.
- We set up hours ahead.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Send final numbers in good time
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
