For farms and rural sites near Catherington, we can cook in the yard. Tell us about access. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish before booking.
Full catering or machine hire?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
What happens on the day
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. After-work summer events in Catherington have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer and 8:55pm in late May, which suits a team barbecue-style evening. By late September, sunset is around 7:05pm.
- We start with the site, date, numbers and lunch break.
- We check access and the cooking area, then quote.
- On the day we set up and roast through the morning.
- We serve quickly within your break.
- Afterwards we clear up and go.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Give us final numbers a week or so before

What’s the nearest station to Catherington?
Rowlands Castle station, about 3.5 miles south-east of the centre.
Do you cater at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.

Tell us the numbers and the time and we’ll plan around them.
Can you feed staff and families?

What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Is there a non-pork option?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We do not offer halal meat.
Do we need our own staff?
You do not need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Add a dietary question to the sign-up
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
- Request gluten-free rolls
Afterwards we tidy up, and leave the site clean.
If it’s a themed open day, tell us and we’ll fit in.
A hog roast compared with other options
Next to taking the team out, a hog roast is easier to organise and keeps people together. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
What you get with us
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Carved to order by a chef

A closer look at the menu
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
