About our party hog roast in Underriver
After a christening near Underriver, a hog roast at home means everyone eats together, and nobody misses the celebration. We are often asked to cater family reunions and christenings, with a vegan burger or sausage, jacket potatoes and coleslaw.
Near Underriver, parties are often in gardens or fields. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll plan the route. You’ll know what’s included before you book: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.
A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a party buffet, a hog roast is hot and freshly carved, and nothing sits out all afternoon. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why us?
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Carved to order by a chef
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it

DIY versus a catered hog roast
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.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.

Each price is built from:
