Corporate hog roast in Boldre, slow-roasted on site
A summer party for staff in Boldre does not have to mean a restaurant booking. A hog roast in the car park or grounds keeps everyone together. For client hospitality and retirements and long-service awards, we’ll put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, salads and coleslaw and more.
Near Boldre, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a hog roast a real treat. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your staff.

What comes off the roaster
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal.
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty.
What a hog roast costs
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Season and day of the week
- Site access
- How long the roast and service take
- Crockery choices
UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. Every event gets its own quote, so you know exactly what you are paying for.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and the cooking area, we will need:
- Rough numbers
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Where the event is
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so you can compare caterers fairly. Use our quote form.
Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Collect dietary needs when you send the invite
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, for the alternatives
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the site as we found it.

Your questions about a hog roast for your team in Boldre
Do you cater at venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is Boldre too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Send us the details and we will quote.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
Catered or do it yourself?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Why choose a hog roast in Boldre?
Next to sandwich platters, hot carved pork feels much more special. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
