How our party hog roast works in The Haven
A party hog roast turns a garden party into an occasion. We set up in your garden or on the drive, roast slowly for hours and carve when you’re ready, so you are not stuck in the kitchen. For anniversary parties and back-garden get-togethers, we can cook apple sauce, hog roast rolls and jacket potatoes.
In a small place like The Haven, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll handle the rest. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.

- Whether travel is included
- What the price includes, item by item

Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Find out who does not eat pork for the alternatives
- Think about children’s portions
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing generally contains gluten
Clear the route to the garden before we arrive, so we can bring everything through.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes to make it a full meal.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
What affects the price in The Haven
Here’s what affects the price:

Is a hog roast right for your party?
DIY or catered? DIY hire works for relaxed get-togethers; catering suits bigger parties. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Why book with us
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Timed around your day
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated

Step by step
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. At midsummer, it is light in The Haven until about 9:20pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
