- It starts with your date, venue and rough numbers.
- We check the venue and send a price.
- On the day we arrive early and get the roast going.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve hot food at the agreed time.

Catered or do it yourself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Hambrook: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Do you come out to small places like Hambrook?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What happens if it’s dark?
Yes: the cooking area, serving table and path need lighting after dark. Tell us what’s already there and we’ll plan the rest with you.
Is it too cold for a hog roast?
Hot food suits winter perfectly.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a picture if you are unsure.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
Working with your venue
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
How we price a hog roast for your Christmas party
Things that change the price:
- The number of people
- The journey to the venue
- Crockery choices
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
