Party hog roast in St Nicholas at Wade, slow-roasted on site
After a christening near St Nicholas at Wade, a hog roast at home means everyone eats together, and nobody misses the celebration. For getting-engaged parties and reunions, we’ll put together a menu of a vegan burger or sausage, crackling and rotisserie chicken.
Country parties near St Nicholas at Wade suit a hog roast: roasted all afternoon and carved on the lawn. Plan shelter in case it rains. The hog is roasted on site at your party, low and slow, for hours.
Organising for someone else?
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Season and day of the week
- Crockery choices
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Which meats and sides you choose
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What we need to know
To check availability and the cooking area, we will need:
- What the outdoor space is like
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Any venue rules
For a quote, send us a few details: the date and serving time, the venue or CT7 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Use our quote form.
A hog roast compared with other options

Catered or do it yourself?

A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
