For a relaxed party, you can hire the machine and cook it yourself. Most hosts prefer us to do it, and spend time with their guests. Typical bookings include christenings and naming days and 18th, 21st, 40th, 50th and 60th birthdays, serving jacket potatoes, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls.
Country parties near Tickham suit a hog roast: slow-roasted and eaten outside. Plan shelter in case it rains. Timings are planned around your party, working back from when you want to eat.
Working with your venue
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We’ll keep you both updated.

What happens on the day
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. A summer party in Tickham stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:00pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.

Read how we price or the cost guide.
Catered or do it yourself?
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.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing generally contains gluten
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
We set up in the agreed spot, leaving the garden to you and your guests.
Bunting or festoon lights near the serving table make a lovely party setting.
