Party hog roast in West Town, carved to order
If you’d rather cook yourself, DIY machine hire is an option. Most hosts prefer us to do it, so they can enjoy the party. For retirement parties and neighbourhood parties, we will put together a menu of coleslaw, hog roast rolls and crackling.
Around West Town, a garden with room to spare is all you need. A hog roast fits right in. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you are not left handing out rolls.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with cooking for everyone yourself, you get to enjoy the party. For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why book with us
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- Planned to your running order

West Town parties: what to know

For guests coming by train, the closest railway station is Fratton station, roughly 3.8 miles west of the centre. Within reach of West Town are historic houses such as Warblington Castle (3.9 miles north). If you’re hiring a historic venue for a big birthday, check its rules on outside caterers first. The coast is within about a mile, so breezy days are common, and we always plan for it.

How the day works
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. A summer party in West Town stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Send a picture of where the roaster could go.
- We check the space and quote.
- We cook for hours on site.
- Our staff serve rolls and sides.
- We clear up so you do not have to.
How to prepare
- Send final numbers in good time
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

Full catering or machine hire?
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.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
Warn the neighbours: roasting takes hours and the smell travels.
Sides turn rolls into a proper party meal.

Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- A heads-up for next door
- Somewhere for us to park nearby
- A wet-weather plan for guests
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
