A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a plated lunch, it’s less formal and normally costs less. For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why us?
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Our staff serve and clear
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Carved by our chef in front of your staff

DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.

About the food
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: crisp, golden and full of flavour, straight off the hog.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal.

- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The date and time of year
- How long the roast and service take
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

Your questions about a hog roast for your team in East Meon
Which station is closest to East Meon?
The closest is Petersfield station, roughly 4.1 miles away.
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’ll work to whatever the site needs.

It can be as relaxed or polished as you like, with plates or china.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.

A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.

The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:

- Clearance from the building and parked cars
