Freemantle questions
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Could you cook in Blechynden Terrace Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.
What comes with the hog roast?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
How early should we book for Christmas?
Very quickly, so ask early. Weekdays frequently have more availability.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
What affects the price in Freemantle
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Whether you want china
- The journey to the venue
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The number of people
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Getting an accurate quote
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The date and time of the event
- Where the event is

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Events we cater in Freemantle
Our staff serve and clear, whatever the weather.
However big or small the event in Freemantle, a slow roast goes a long way. We’re frequently asked to cater:
- Family Christmas gatherings
- Winter fairs and markets
- End-of-term celebrations
- Society Christmas socials
A winter fair at a school like Freemantle Church of England Community Academy gets dark early, so hot food is popular.
