Party hog roast in Whaddon
Party hog roast in Whaddon, carved to order
A big birthday deserves a centrepiece, and a whole hog roasting in the garden is exactly that. The smell sets the mood. We are frequently asked to cater retirement celebrations and 18th, 21st, 40th, 50th and 60th birthdays, serving rotisserie chicken, apple sauce and coleslaw.
In a small place like Whaddon, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you’re not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Whaddon
How far is Whaddon from London?
About 46 miles from central London.
Is Whaddon too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Will the smell bother the neighbours?
A friendly word helps: the roast cooks for hours and the smell travels. Some hosts invite them over for a roll.
Do children like hog roasts?
Most children like pork in a soft roll, and chicken or a vegan sausage covers fussy eaters.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a photo if you’re unsure.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
A closer look at the menu
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: crisp, golden and full of flavour, straight off the hog.
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, which keeps it hot and moist.
Occasions we serve in Whaddon

The process
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. A summer party in Whaddon stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Hire the machine or book catering? DIY hire works for relaxed get-togethers; catering suits bigger or more important parties. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why book with us
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Timed around your day
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
