How it works
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. In Crookham Village, December daylight ends around 3:55pm, so a lunchtime serving suits winter.
- We start with the date and numbers.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- We roast through the morning.
- We serve inside or out.
- We clear away quietly.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Name a contact for the day
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot

Crookham Village questions
Could you cook in Calthorpe Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
What’s the nearest station to Crookham Village?
Fleet station, about 1.9 miles north-east of the centre.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
What comes with the hog roast?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
Can you fit around mealtimes?
We fit around the home’s routine, whether lunch or later.
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.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
