Party hog roast near Wouldham
A big birthday deserves a centrepiece, and a whole hog roasting in the garden is exactly that. Your guests will smell it from the street. We are often asked to cater summer parties in the garden and christenings and naming days, with apple sauce, a vegan burger or sausage and jacket potatoes.
A country party near Wouldham is perfect for a hog roast: slow-roasted and eaten outside. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
Looking after everyone
Some guests will not eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Think about children’s portions
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing typically contains gluten
We set up in the agreed spot, leaving the garden to you and your guests.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes to make it a full meal.
