About our party hog roast in Swingfield Minnis
Party food needs to be easy to eat, and pork rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling are just that. Chicken and vegetarian options keep everyone happy. We are often asked to cater getting-engaged parties and back-garden get-togethers, serving jacket potatoes, crackling and a vegan burger or sausage.
Near Swingfield Minnis, parties are frequently in gardens or fields. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will handle the rest. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.

Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.

FAQs for Swingfield Minnis
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Do you come out to small places like Swingfield Minnis?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What’s the price?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a photo if you are unsure.
What about kids?
Plain pork rolls go down well with children, with chicken as an alternative.
What comes with the hog roast?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Is our garden suitable?
Describe the space and the way in, and we’ll tell you if it works.
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 that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
The process
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell normally brings people over long before we carve. For an evening party in Swingfield Minnis, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:15pm at midsummer, but by late September it’s around 7:00pm. Lights by the food keep the party going.
