Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a restaurant outing, a hog roast is easier to organise and keeps people together. Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.

Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
- Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Add a dietary question to the sign-up
If the schedule moves, tell us: we can hold the roast for a short time.
Ask about china for a more formal lunch.
Working with your venue
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

What else we do in Foxcotte
Should I cook it myself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
How we price a hog roast for your team
The price comes down to:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The journey to the venue
- How many people are eating
- Crockery choices
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
What we need to know
To get the best quote, tell us:
- The venue or postcode
- The date and time of the event
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- An estimate of numbers

Foxcotte: your questions answered
Is Foxcotte too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What’s the nearest station to Foxcotte?
Andover station, about 1.2 miles south-east of the centre.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
Can it be more formal?
With china and sides, it works well for clients.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
What do people get?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your staff will want somewhere dry to eat.
Do you cater open days with families?
Open days are a great fit, with chicken and vegetarian options for visitors.
