A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a barbecue run by staff, your staff can focus on residents. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why book with us
- Planned to your running order
- Carved to order by a chef
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
See our prices page or the cost guide.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Share residents’ dietary needs with us in good time
- Count residents who need an alternative
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
Your team helps residents as needed, while we serve.
China crockery is available on request.
How the day works
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. Winter afternoons in Tadley are short, with sunset at about 4:00pm, so winter hog roast days are best kept to lunchtime.
- We start with the date and numbers.
- We agree the cooking spot and quote.
- We roast through the morning.
- We carve and serve where you choose.
- We clear away quietly.
How to prepare
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Name a contact for the day
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees

Organising for someone else?
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
If you’re a venue or event planner, we’re happy to work alongside your team.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- An activities lead or manager as contact
- The manager’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A level spot in the garden or car park
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

What a hog roast costs
Each price is built from:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Distance from us
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- How long the roast and service take
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
