Common questions in Forest Corner
Is Forest Corner 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 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 will follow the site rules.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
How early should we book for Christmas?
The earlier the better. Weekdays often have more availability.

We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You will get allergen details for everything.
What do people get?

How much does a hog roast cost?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Organising for someone else?
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
Space, access and the venue
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Before booking, check:
- A firm surface, as winter grass can be soft
- Somewhere warm and dry for guests to eat
- A short route for our equipment
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
