Our hog roast service in Welwyn Garden City
Welwyn Garden City was founded by Ebenezer Howard in 1920 as his second garden city, and it still looks the part: wide verges, neo-Georgian houses, tree-lined avenues and the long central Parkway with its fountain. Green space is part of the design here rather than an afterthought, and the town is ringed by woodland and farmland, with the old village of Welwyn just to the north.
All that greenery makes it a natural place for outdoor catering. We bring hog roasts, lamb roasts and BBQs to Welwyn Garden City gardens, clubs and workplaces, cook everything on site and look after the serving and clear-up.
We cater across Welwyn Garden City as part of our hog roast catering in Hertfordshire. For the full picture of how we work, see our full-service hog roasts page.
Where we cater in Welwyn Garden City
Private parties in the town's generous gardens are the mainstay — birthdays, anniversaries, christenings and street-party style gatherings. The town also has offices and business areas, particularly on its eastern side, that book staff summer events. Village venues around Digswell, Tewin and Welwyn host weddings and bigger family parties.
Many streets have deep verges and wide pavements, which helps when unloading, though some cul-de-sacs have limited parking. The Mimram valley and the countryside north of town have plenty of farm venues with good access.

Events we cater in Welwyn Garden City
Wedding hog roasts
Couples from Welwyn Garden City often choose a barn or marquee just outside town. We serve hog roast or lamb as the main meal with a full table of salads, or keep it simple with evening rolls — and we can do both from one roast.

Staff lunches and summer parties for firms around the town are a regular booking. We'll work with your facilities team on a sensible location, keep service quick and label every dish clearly for dietary needs.
Corporate BBQ cateringBirthday & private parties
Garden parties feel right in a garden city. A 60th, a golden anniversary or a summer party for the neighbours all suit a hog roast carved on the lawn, with plenty of salads and a vegetarian main alongside.
Hog roasts for birthday parties · Catering for parties at homeWhat we cook
Pork hog roast
Our pork is slow-roasted whole on site and hand-carved at the counter as guests come up. Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling are the favourite; a plated buffet works well when it's the main meal.
Sample hog roast menuLamb roast
Lamb works as the only roast or alongside pork. We carve it at the counter and serve it with mint sauce, herby salads and breads — a popular choice for summer weddings.
Spit-roast lambBBQ options
Burgers, sausages and chicken for the meat-eaters, with halloumi, vegetable skewers and plant-based options cooked separately for everyone else.
BBQ packagesSides & salads
A roast without good sides is just meat in a bun. We make coleslaw and salads fresh, cook fries and sweet potato fries on site, and can add new potatoes, corn on the cob or a Greek-style salad depending on the season and the crowd.
Vegetarian, vegan & dietary options
Dietary needs are planned in from the start, not added at the end. Vegetarian and vegan dishes are cooked on separate equipment on request and clearly labelled, and allergen information is available for everything we serve. For guests with severe allergies, please talk to us before the event.
