Party hog roast for Vigo Village
How our party hog roast works in Vigo Village
In Vigo Village, a hog roast is a favourite for birthdays and garden parties: one roast, enough for a crowd. We serve and tidy up. On the menu are rotisserie chicken, a vegan burger or sausage and coleslaw, and we’re frequently booked for leaving and retirement do’s and ruby, golden and diamond anniversaries.
Near Vigo Village, parties are often in gardens or fields. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll handle the rest. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a party buffet, hot carved pork feels more special. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups typically cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why book our hog roast in Vigo Village
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

Vigo Village: your questions answered
Could you cook in Trosley Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Do we need cover?
The roaster has its own cover; plan shelter for guests in bad weather.
What comes with the hog roast?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Is a hog roast good for a children’s party?
Generally, yes, so we can plan quantities.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
