How we price a hog roast for your party
Each price is built from:
- Season and day of the week
- Site access
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- How long the roast and service take
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Getting an accurate quote
For a quick, accurate price, tell us:
- The address or postcode
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- An estimate of numbers
It is easy to get a price: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. You’ll get a clear quote listing what’s included. Fill in our quote form.
How our party hog roast works in Stanmore
A party at home needs a little planning for the roaster: level ground outdoors, clear of the house and fences. We will help you choose. On the menu are rotisserie chicken, apple sauce and coleslaw, and typical bookings are for getting-engaged parties and anniversary parties.
Parties around Stanmore are often relaxed garden affairs. A hog roast fits right in. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Add a dietary question to the invite
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing typically contains gluten
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork for the alternatives
We get there early to start the roast, so it’s cooking when guests arrive.
Ask about china for a sit-down party, at extra cost.
Why choose party hog roast in Stanmore?
It suits all ages, from grandparents to toddlers.
We’re regularly asked to cater a wide mix of occasions near Stanmore, including:

Thinking of a hog roast in St. Cross Park? Cooking in a park needs the owner’s permission, typically the council’s, and many parks do not allow it.
What to look for in a quote
- Exactly what’s included in the price
- Whether plates or china are included
- If the price includes VAT
- What the cooking area needs: space, cover and access
The process
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell usually brings people over long before we carve. In Stanmore, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:25pm, so most summer parties eat in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 4:00pm, need lights by the roaster.
- It starts with the date, the address and a rough guest list.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
Getting a price
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat. We’ll check the date and send a quote. Use our quote form.

Common questions in Stanmore
We are gathering after a service at Saint Luke: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
What’s the nearest station to Stanmore?
The closest is Winchester station, roughly 1.2 miles away.
What space does the roaster need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll check it with you before booking.
Do we need to wash up?
We tidy the serving area, so there’s very little washing up.
What about kids?
Yes, and tell us how many children are coming, so we get the amounts right.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Do you bring a gazebo?
The roaster has its own cover; guests will want somewhere dry to eat if it rains.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We will bring the rest.
What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.
For planners, venues and organisers
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- A word with the neighbours
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
