New Forest: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like New Forest?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
Is turkey available?
Yes: add turkey to the menu.
Do we need our own staff?
You don’t need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
When should we book our Christmas party?
December weekends go first. Send your date early.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
What comes with the hog roast?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Do you need power or water?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Tell us how many vegans to expect, and we’ll plan the vegan burgers or sausages.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
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.
What happens on the day
Expect a calm, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. In New Forest, December daylight ends around 4:05pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.
- Send us your Christmas party date, venue and numbers.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- We set up under cover in daylight and roast through the afternoon.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve hot food at the agreed time.
- We tidy up and go, whatever the weather.
Before we arrive
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
Getting a price
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the Christmas party is and roughly how many. A photo of the cooking area helps. Fill in our quote form.
