Party hog roast for Stoke Charity
Should I cook it myself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.

How we price a hog roast for your party

- Crockery choices
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The number of people
- The journey to the venue
Distance is part of the price: travel is included in your quote, with any London charges listed. Tell us the exact address so the quote is accurate.

What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Planners, venues and businesses
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- A heads-up for next door
- Access for the roaster through a gate or passage
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Stoke Charity
How far is Stoke Charity from London?
Roughly 58 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Michael: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Is our garden suitable?
Tell us about the garden and the access, and we will give you an honest answer.
How much will it be?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. You will know our arrival time in advance.
How it works
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your guests, with crackling for everyone who wants it. For an evening party in Stoke Charity, think about light: it is light until about 9:25pm in June but only about 7:10pm in late September. Lights by the food keep the party going.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We set up hours ahead.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Preparing for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Send final numbers in good time
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
