Party hog roast in Willesborough
Should I cook it myself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
How our party hog roast works in Willesborough
A hog roast makes a party at home feel special. We set up in your garden or on the drive, roast slowly for hours and carve when you’re ready, so you’re not stuck in the kitchen. Typical bookings include back-garden get-togethers and getting-engaged parties, with apple sauce, rotisserie chicken and a vegan burger or sausage.
Around Willesborough, a garden with room to spare is all you need. It suits that kind of party. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

What a hog roast costs
The biggest factors are:
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Distance from us
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- How many people are eating
Travel matters for the price: travel is included in your quote. Give us the address so the quote is accurate.
What we need to know
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Roughly how many people
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Tell us your date and we will check it: send us your details through our quote form.
How it works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. A summer party in Willesborough stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:00pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- You tell us the date, your address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check the space and send a clear quote.
- We arrive in good time and start roasting.
- When it is time to eat, the chef carves and we serve.
- We pack away and leave the garden tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
