Party hog roast in Whitchurch Hill
DIY versus a catered hog roast
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Party hog roast in Whitchurch Hill, carved to order
After a christening near Whitchurch Hill, a hog roast at home means everyone eats together, without anyone stuck cooking. Popular choices include coleslaw, rotisserie chicken and jacket potatoes, and we are regularly asked to cater christenings and getting-engaged parties.
In a small place like Whitchurch Hill, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish.

The process
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. In Whitchurch Hill, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:25pm, so an early-evening carve is typically in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:55pm, need lights by the roaster.
- You tell us the date, your address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check the date and the garden or drive, then send a quote.
- We arrive in good time and start roasting.
- When it’s time to eat, the chef carves and we serve.
- Afterwards we tidy up the serving area.
Preparing for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees

Can you cater after a service at St John the Baptist?

Pangbourne station, about 1.6 miles south of the centre.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll fit around changes.

Tell us about the garden and the access, and we will tell you if it works.
Is clearing up included?
We bring plates and clear up after service.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Add a dietary question to the invite
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork for the alternatives
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing typically contains gluten
A cooked roast holds for a while, so just let us know.
Ask about china for a sit-down party, at extra cost.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to doing it all yourself, a catered hog roast gives you the day back. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

What we serve, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal, especially at a sit-down event.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
