Party hog roast in Weston, carved to order
Hosting a party means juggling everything at once. A hog roast takes the food off your list: we roast, carve, serve and clear. Popular choices include crackling, jacket potatoes and apple sauce, and we are frequently booked for naming ceremonies and close and cul-de-sac parties.
In a small place like Weston, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll plan the route. You will know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a buffet, hot carved pork feels more special, and nothing sits out all afternoon. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
What you get with us
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- Planned to your running order

Read our pricing and the cost guide.
What happens on the day
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. At midsummer, it is light in Weston until about 9:20pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We set up hours ahead.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Before we arrive
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

Which station is closest to Weston?
The closest is Petersfield station, roughly 1.4 miles away.
Who serves?
You do not need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.

Is crockery included?

Will the smell bother the neighbours?
Give them a heads-up, especially if the roaster is near a fence.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
