How it works
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. A summer party in Tonge stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:00pm; add lights for the evening.
- Send us your party date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check the space and send a clear quote.
- We arrive in good time and start roasting.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve when you’re ready.
- We pack away and leave the garden tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Name a contact for the day

Party hog roast in Tonge, slow-roasted on site
In Tonge, a hog roast is a favourite for birthdays and garden parties: one roast, enough for a crowd. Our staff serve and clear. On the menu are coleslaw, a vegan burger or sausage and rotisserie chicken, and we are regularly asked to cater milestone birthdays and leaving and retirement do’s.
In a small place like Tonge, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll handle the rest. Timings are planned around your party, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Organising for someone else?
If you’re a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
What we serve, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we’ll bring enough vegan burgers or sausages.

FAQs for Tonge
Is Tonge close to London?
About 39 miles from central London.
Is Tonge too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you bring a gazebo?
Not for the cooking, but a gazebo or indoor space for guests is a good backup.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it is always worth asking: use our quote form.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Can you do a hog roast in our back garden?
Tell us about the garden and the access, and we will tell you if it works.
How much will it be?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
Do we need to wash up?
We tidy the serving area, so there’s very little washing up.
Where the roaster can go in Tonge
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- A side gate or passage wide enough to wheel the equipment
- Space for our vehicle near the drive
- A spot well away from the house
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
