How it works
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. In summer, Carter's Clay has daylight until about 9:25pm, which makes garden events easy. In December, with dark by about 4:00pm, lunchtime is best.
- We plan with your manager and kitchen.
- We send a quote.
- We set up outdoors, clear of access routes.
- We carve thinly and serve on plates.
- We tidy up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking

Carter's Clay questions
Which station is closest to Carter's Clay?
Mottisfont & Dunbridge station, about 1.2 miles north-east of the centre.
Is Carter's Clay too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.
Can you fit around mealtimes?
Choose the time, and we’ll be ready.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
