How we price a hog roast for your party
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every party is different. What matters most:
- Distance from us
- How long the roast and service take

Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.

What we serve, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and children typically like it too.
Where the roaster can go in Stroud
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Things to check:
- A spot well away from the house
- 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.

Should I cook it myself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Step by step
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. A summer party in Stroud stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- It starts with the date, the address and a rough guest list.
- We check the date and the garden or drive, then send a quote.
- We arrive in good time and start roasting.
- We carve and serve at the agreed time.
- We clear up and pack away.
How to prepare
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Stroud
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Can you cater after a service at Stroud Mission Church?
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 normally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Is a hog roast good for a children’s party?
Generally, yes, so we can plan quantities.
Do we need a marquee for a party hog roast?
The roaster has its own cover; guests will want somewhere dry to eat if it rains.
Can you do gluten-free?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Find out who does not eat pork for the alternatives
Our chef carves and our staff serve at the agreed time, then tidy up.

- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
