Party hog roast in Stockbury, slow-roasted on site
Plan where the roaster will go: a level spot away from the house and trees, under cover. We will check it with you. We’re often asked to cater engagement parties and leaving and retirement do’s, with coleslaw, rotisserie chicken and a vegan burger or sausage.
In a small place like Stockbury, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll handle the rest. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing typically contains gluten
We set up in the agreed spot, leaving the garden to you and your guests.
A string of lights by the carving station looks great as it gets dark.
Planning the cooking spot
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Ideally:
- A word with the neighbours
- A level patio, lawn or driveway
- A spot well away from the house
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

Should I cook it myself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
What a hog roast costs
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- How many people are eating
- Whether you want china
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What to tell us
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- Roughly how many people
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Anything the venue has asked for
- What the outdoor space is like
It’s easy to get a price: date, place, numbers and serving time. You’ll get a clear quote listing what’s included. Use our quote form.

Working with your venue
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Stockbury questions
Is Stockbury too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Which station is closest to Stockbury?
The closest is Newington station, roughly 2.2 miles away.
Can you work around our timings?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will fit around changes.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Do we need a marquee for a party hog roast?
The roaster has its own cover; plan shelter for guests in bad weather.
What about the neighbours?
It is worth warning them: the roast cooks for hours and the smell travels. Some hosts invite them over for a roll.
Can you do a hog roast in our back garden?
Often, yes, if there is a level spot away from the house and trees, and a way to wheel the equipment through. Send us a photo.
Can we hire the hog roast machine for our party?
Yes, for confident cooks. Catering is the easier option.
