About our party hog roast in Stroude
A hog roast works for street parties as well, once the road closure or permission is in place. Whether it’s garden parties and big birthday parties, we’ll put together a menu of hog roast rolls, coleslaw and jacket potatoes for your guests.
Country parties near Stroude suit a hog roast: slow-roasted and eaten outside. Plan shelter in case it rains. The hog is roasted on site at your party, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your guests.
What a hog roast costs
There is no fixed price list, because every party is different. The main factors are:
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Plates or china
- The journey to the venue
- Access to the cooking area
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What we need to know
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The address or postcode
- What the outdoor space is like

FAQs for Stroude
Which station is closest to Stroude?
The closest is Virginia Water station, roughly 0.7 miles away.
Could you cook in Riverside Walk?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Can we cook it ourselves?
You can hire the machine. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a photo if you are unsure.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
Do we need to provide electricity?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We’ll bring the rest.
Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Think about children’s portions
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Request gluten-free rolls
Ensure the gate or side passage is open when we arrive, so we can bring everything through.
Bunting or festoon lights near the serving table make a lovely party setting.
Full catering or machine hire?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally 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 you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
How the day works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell typically brings people over long before we carve. In Stroude, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so an early-evening carve is usually in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:55pm, need lights by the roaster.
