Stanswood questions
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
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.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
What about staff who do not eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
Do you cater open days with families?
Yes, a hog roast suits open days, with chicken and vegetarian options for visitors.

Catered or do it yourself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
For planners, venues and organisers
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.

Compared with individual food vans, a hog roast feeds a lot of people quickly from one roast. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why us?
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Our staff serve and clear

Open days in Stanswood usually finish in daylight, though in winter it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so late events need lighting.
