Party hog roast in Whiteley, carved to order
A party hog roast turns a garden party into an occasion. We set up in your garden or on the drive, roast slowly for hours and carve when you’re ready, so you are not stuck in the kitchen. We serve rotisserie chicken, a vegan burger or sausage and crackling, and we’re regularly asked to cater big family get-togethers and big birthday parties.
Around Whiteley, a garden with room to spare is all you need. A hog roast fits right in. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.
Full catering or machine hire?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Organising for someone else?
If you are a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We’ll keep you both updated.

FAQs for Whiteley
Is Whiteley close to London?
About 66 miles from central London.
Can you roast near the sea around Whiteley?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
Should we warn the neighbours?
It is worth warning them: the roast cooks for hours and the smell travels. They may want a roll.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
We bring plates and clear up after service.
Will a hog roast fit in our garden?
Describe the space and the way in, and we’ll tell you if it works.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will confirm everything in writing.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The journey to the venue
For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What to tell us
To check availability and the cooking area, we will need:
- Where the event is
- Your menu choices
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Rough numbers
To get a quote, just tell us the date, where the party is and roughly how many. A photo of the cooking area helps. Use our quote form.

Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing typically contains gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
On the day, we arrive hours before the party starts, so the smell is the first thing guests notice.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
The process
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. At midsummer, it is light in Whiteley until about 9:20pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- It starts with the date, the address and a rough guest list.
- We check the date and the garden or drive, then send a quote.
- We arrive in good time and start roasting.
- We carve and serve at the agreed time.
- We clear up and pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

What comes off the roaster
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll.
