FAQs for South Bersted
Which station is closest to South Bersted?

Can you do a hog roast in The Brooks Local Nature Reserve?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Can the food be served indoors?
Cooking is always outdoors; guests can eat inside.
How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.
Can we have roast turkey?
We can: turkey and pork together suit most Christmas parties.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to:
- Access to the cooking area
- Time on site
- Plates or china
- Which meats and sides you choose
A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Details that help
When you get in touch, it helps to include:
- Rough numbers
- The date and time of the event
- What the outdoor space is like
- Anything the venue has asked for
Busy weekends book up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Tell us your date and we’ll check it: fill in our quote form.
Full catering or machine hire?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
- Collect dietary needs with Christmas party sign-ups
- Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Send the allergen list round before the party
We arrive in daylight to set up and start roasting, and cook into the evening.
Add roast potatoes for a festive plate.
