Working with your venue

Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with sandwiches from a shop, hot food makes a difference on a long day. For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why book with us
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Carved by our chef in front of your crew
Read our prices page or the cost guide.
Step by step
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. Summer shoots near Brockenhurst have light until about 9:25pm, which suits an evening wrap at base.
- Tell us the base location.
- We confirm where we set up.
- We roast under cover at base.
- Service is quick.
- We tidy up and go.
Before we arrive
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Think about shelter for your crew
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
