How our party hog roast works in Stonegate
A big birthday deserves a centrepiece, and a whole hog roasting in the garden is exactly that. The smell sets the mood. We’re often asked to cater neighbourhood parties and anniversary parties, serving hog roast rolls, crackling and jacket potatoes.
Country parties near Stonegate suit a hog roast: slow-roasted and eaten outside. Plan shelter in case it rains. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

How we price a hog roast for your party
Each price is built from:
- Distance from us
- Site access
- The date and time of year
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What we need to know
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Allergies we should know about
- Your menu choices
- The date and when you’d like to eat
The quickest way to get a price is to send us your date, venue and numbers. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Use our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
- Add a dietary question to the invite
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
On the day, we arrive hours before the party starts, so it’s cooking when guests arrive.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes to make it a full meal.
Perfect for your party in Stonegate

How the day works
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. A summer party in Stonegate stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:00pm; add lights for the evening.
- Tell us about your party: date, address and numbers.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We set up hours ahead.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Send final numbers in good time

Catered or do it yourself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.

Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.

The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Can we cook it ourselves?

Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
