About our party hog roast in Waldershare
For a relaxed party, you can hire the machine and cook it yourself. Most hosts prefer us to do it, and spend time with their guests. We serve crackling, jacket potatoes and a vegan burger or sausage, and typical bookings are for garden parties and engagement celebrations.
Country parties near Waldershare suit a hog roast: slow-roasted and eaten outside. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Find out who does not eat pork for the alternatives
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Request gluten-free rolls
Ensure the gate or side passage is open when we arrive, so we can wheel the equipment in.
China crockery is available on request, at extra cost.

Within reach of Waldershare are historic houses such as Goodnestone Park (4 miles north). For most parties, a garden or hall is easier than a historic venue with strict catering rules.

Other occasions in Waldershare
Catered or do it yourself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
How the day works
From setting up to the last roll, we look after the food, so you can get on with your party. At midsummer, it’s light in Waldershare until about 9:15pm, 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.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Preparing for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Send final numbers in good time
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

Planners, venues and businesses

Waldershare questions
Is Waldershare too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Pancras: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
What about the neighbours?
Give them a heads-up.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
What affects the price in Waldershare
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every party is different. What matters most:
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- The number of people
- Plates or china
- Season and day of the week
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
