Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to sandwich platters, a hog roast is hot, fresh and feels like an event. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

Common questions in Old Alresford
Is Old Alresford too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Old Alresford close to London?
Roughly 54 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Is a hog roast smart enough for clients?
With china and sides, it works well for clients.
Do you need a car park?
Wherever your facilities team agrees, outdoors and under cover.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we’ll check.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Add a dietary question to the sign-up
- Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed

Full catering or machine hire?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s 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.

Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Clearance from the building and parked cars
- Somewhere to park our vehicle
- Your site’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
From the roaster
- Rotisserie chicken
- Crackling
- Salads
- Coleslaw
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Vegan option (Ve)
- Spit-roast lamb
- Halloumi skewers (V)

For planners, venues and organisers
If you are a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
