Party hog roast in Wanborough, slow-roasted on site
A hog roast works for street parties as well, with the right permissions. For big family get-togethers and anniversary parties, we can cook crackling, coleslaw and jacket potatoes for your guests.
In a small place like Wanborough, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we will plan the route. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
How it works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. At midsummer, it’s light in Wanborough until about 9:20pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Find out who does not eat pork for the alternatives
On the day, we arrive hours before the party starts, so it is cooking when guests arrive.
Bunting or festoon lights near the serving table make a lovely party setting.
Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Space, access and the venue
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- Clearance from walls, fences and overhanging branches
- Neighbours warned about the smell
- Flat ground in the garden or on the drive
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
