DIY versus a catered hog roast
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
A hog roast compared with other options
At a winter fair, hot pork rolls are always popular. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups generally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why Copythorne hosts choose us
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Served at the time you choose

Common questions in Copythorne
Do you cater at venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do you come out to small places like Copythorne?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.

Hours rather than minutes. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
Do you come to Copythorne?
We do. Send us the address and we will check the date.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
How early should we book for Christmas?
Very quickly, so ask early. Weekdays often have more availability.
Do hog roasts work in winter?
Yes, the roast always cooks outdoors under cover. Guests will want somewhere warm and dry to eat.
Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Collect dietary needs with Christmas party sign-ups
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
We set up while it’s still light, and cook into the evening.
China crockery is available on request.
