Party hog roast in Tudeley Hale, slow-roasted on site
A big birthday deserves a centrepiece, and a hog roast in the garden fits the bill. Your guests will smell it from the street. We are often asked to cater christenings and street parties, serving hog roast rolls, jacket potatoes and crackling.
In a small place like Tudeley Hale, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we will handle the rest. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
Have a word with the neighbours first: roasting takes hours and the smell travels, and they may ask for a roll.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
How it works
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. At midsummer, it’s light in Tudeley Hale until about 9:20pm, 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.

Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
