A hog roast near Willington
DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
About our party hog roast in Willington
Throwing a party is hard work. With a hog roast, the food is sorted: we cook, carve and serve. We serve rotisserie chicken, a vegan burger or sausage and hog roast rolls, and typical bookings are for close and cul-de-sac parties and reunions.
Parties around Willington are often relaxed garden affairs. A hog roast fits right in. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
Other occasions in Willington
Organising for someone else?
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
If you’re a venue or event planner, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
How the day works
The roaster is gas-fired, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A summer party in Willington stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:00pm; add lights for the evening.
