Book a hog roast in Tidworth
Catered or do it yourself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Party hog roast in Tidworth, slow-roasted on site
A hog roast makes a party at home feel special. We set up in your garden or on the drive, roast slowly for hours and carve when you’re ready, so you’re not stuck in the kitchen. We serve jacket potatoes, a vegan burger or sausage and rotisserie chicken, and we are regularly asked to cater leaving and retirement do’s and neighbourhood parties.
Parties around Tidworth are often relaxed garden affairs. It suits that kind of party. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
Tidworth questions
How far is Tidworth from London?
About 70 miles from central London.
We are gathering after a service at Church of the Holy Trinity: can you cater?
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 typically elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Can you do a hog roast in our back garden?
Frequently, yes, if there is a level spot away from the house and trees, given access for the equipment. Send us a photo.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
Is a hog roast good for a children’s party?
Yes, and tell us how many children are coming, so we can plan quantities.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. We’ll explain the details with your quote.

How the day works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. Evening parties in Tidworth need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late September it is around 7:10pm. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.
- It starts with the date, the address and a rough guest list.
- We check the space and send a clear quote.
- We arrive in good time and start roasting.
- We carve and serve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we tidy up the serving area.
Before we arrive
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
