Kempshott questions
Is Kempshott close to London?
Roughly 48 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Which station is closest to Kempshott?
Basingstoke station, about 2.8 miles north-east of the centre.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
What’s included?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
Do you need lighting?
It gets dark early, so we’ll sort lighting together.
The process
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. In December, it’s dark in Kempshott by about 4:00pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We start in daylight and cook into the dark.

Preparing for the day

How we price a hog roast for your Christmas party
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Distance from us
- Which meats and sides you choose
- How many people are eating
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
What we need to know
These are the details we need:
- The date and time of the event
- What the outdoor space is like
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Where the event is
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat. We will check the date and send a quote. Fill in our quote form.
