How our party hog roast works in St Clement's
Rolls are easy for party guests to eat standing up, so hog roast rolls are ideal. Alternatives cover anyone who does not eat pork. We’re frequently asked to cater getting-engaged parties and reunions, with rotisserie chicken, jacket potatoes and crackling.
In a place like St Clement's, a party at home is normally the easiest option. Tell us about the drive and the garden, and we’ll do the rest. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish.

About the food
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it is needed, so it stays hot and juicy.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing go with the pork perfectly. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
What affects the price in St Clement's
We work out each quote from:
- The number of people
- The date and time of year
- The journey to the venue
- Menu choices and extras
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.

The process
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. By late September, sunset in St Clement's is about 7:10pm; by December it is about 3:55pm. Light the garden path and the serving area.

- You get a check on the date and the cooking spot, and a quote.
- We arrive in good time and start roasting.
- When it is time to eat, the chef carves and we serve.
- We pack away and leave the garden tidy.

- Flat ground in the garden or on the drive
- Space for our vehicle near the drive
- A word with the neighbours
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
