Party hog roast for Wellow
About our party hog roast in Wellow
A party at home needs a little planning for the roaster: level ground outdoors, clear of the house and fences. We will check it with you. We are often asked to cater neighbourhood parties and retirement celebrations, with apple sauce, coleslaw and rotisserie chicken.
In a small place like Wellow, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we will handle the rest. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve.

Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
Warn the neighbours: roasting takes hours and the smell travels.
Rotisserie chicken is popular at family parties.
