Little Posbrook: your questions answered
How far is Little Posbrook from London?
Roughly 68 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Is Little Posbrook 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.
Can you cater in Little Posbrook?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Little Posbrook and the rest of Hampshire included. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Do December dates go quickly?
As early as possible, especially for Fridays and Saturdays. Ask as soon as you know your date.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. You will know our arrival time in advance.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
We pack up whatever the weather.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Should I cook it myself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Working with your venue
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
