Party hog roast for Wallend
How our party hog roast works in Wallend
If you’d rather cook yourself, DIY machine hire is an option. Most people choose the catered option, and spend time with their guests. We’re frequently asked to cater getting-engaged parties and ruby, golden and diamond anniversaries, with jacket potatoes, rotisserie chicken and crackling.
Near Wallend, parties are often in gardens or fields. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. The hog is roasted on site at your party, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.
Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some guests will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing typically contains gluten
Warn the neighbours: the roast cooks for hours, and they may ask for a roll.
Add chicken for younger or fussier guests.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- A spot well away from the house
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors for guests if it rains
- Somewhere for us to park nearby
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
How the day works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. Your guests will smell it long before they see it.
