Your questions about a hog roast for your team in The Hummicks
Is The Hummicks 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.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not provide halal meat.
Can a company book?
Let us know your company’s booking requirements, and we’ll explain the booking terms.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
Can you set up in our car park?
A car park, yard or grounds generally works, if there’s a level spot away from buildings and vehicles.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.

Prices and what affects them
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Plates or china
- Distance from us
- Numbers
- Which meats and sides you choose
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.
What we need to know
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- The date and time of the event
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Anything the venue has asked for
For a quote, send us a few details: the date and serving time, the venue or SO42 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Send us your details through our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We will keep everyone in the loop.
What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: grilled halloumi with vegetables, in a roll or on a plate.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, for the alternatives
- Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
We will sign in and follow site rules, and keep vehicles where you ask.
Ask about china for a more formal lunch.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- Approval from facilities for gas equipment
- A level spot in the car park, yard or grounds
- Clearance from the building and parked cars
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Should I cook it myself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. After-work summer events in The Hummicks have light until about 9:25pm at midsummer and 8:55pm in late May, so an after-work hog roast works well in summer. In late September, the light goes at about 7:10pm.
