Common questions in Boarhunt
Do you come out to small places like Boarhunt?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What’s the nearest station to Boarhunt?
The closest is Portchester station, roughly 1.6 miles away.
Where will the roaster go?
Always outside, agreed with the manager.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
What about residents who do not eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.

The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some residents will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
Organising for someone else?
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.

The process
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we have agreed, and roast, carve and serve without fuss.

How we price a hog roast day

When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
