Party hog roast in Wadwick
Party hog roast in Wadwick, slow-roasted on site
Milestone birthdays call for something special, and a whole hog roasting in the garden is exactly that. The smell sets the mood. We are often asked to cater street parties and leaving and retirement do’s, with crackling, coleslaw and rotisserie chicken.
A country party near Wadwick is perfect for a hog roast: roasted all afternoon and carved on the lawn. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. The hog is roasted on site at your party, low and slow, for hours.

Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- Access for the roaster through a gate or passage
- Space for our vehicle near the drive

About the food
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.
Step by step
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. A summer party in Wadwick stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.
- Tell us about your party: date, address and numbers.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We set up hours ahead.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.
How to prepare
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

Catered or do it yourself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
