About our party hog roast in Stone Cross
Throwing a party is hard work. A hog roast takes the food off your list: we roast, carve, serve and clear. Whether it’s christenings and naming days and street parties, we can cook hog roast rolls, apple sauce and jacket potatoes.
In a place like Stone Cross, a party at home is generally the easiest option. Tell us about the drive and the garden, and we will bring everything else. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

What happens on the day
We work to your timings. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. A summer party in Stone Cross stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:00pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the space and send a price.
- We set up hours ahead.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Before we arrive

Questions from Stone Cross
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
We are gathering after a service at St Luke's Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.
Can we hire the hog roast machine for our party?
Yes, for confident cooks. Most people prefer us to cook so they can enjoy the party.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
A hog roast or other catering?
DIY or catered? DIY hire works for relaxed get-togethers; catering suits bigger parties. Distance is part of the price: travel is included in your quote, with any London charges listed. Give us the address for an accurate figure.
