About our party hog roast in Upper Denford
A party hog roast turns a garden party into an occasion. 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. For garden parties and naming ceremonies, we will put together a menu of apple sauce, hog roast rolls and jacket potatoes for your guests.
A country party near Upper Denford is perfect for a hog roast: slow-roasted and eaten outside. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. The hog is roasted on site at your party, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your guests.

The process
Your timings come first. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day. In Upper Denford, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:25pm, so most summer parties eat in daylight. After about 4:00pm in December, we need light to carve.
- Show us the garden or drive.
- We confirm it works and send a quote.
- We cook for hours on site.
- Our staff serve rolls and sides.
- We clear up so you don’t have to.
Getting ready for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Have a level outdoor spot ready

How much does a hog roast cost?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Should I cook it myself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
