Working with your venue
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We will fit in with site rules.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A named contact for the day
- Sign-off for outside caterers
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
How it works
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Open days in Alverstoke generally finish in daylight, though in winter it is dark by about 4:00pm.
