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 will work to whatever the site needs.
Can you roast near the sea around Hounsdown?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.

Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we’ll quote.

Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.

Every production is different; share your list and we’ll respond.
Can you work to the call sheet?
That is exactly how we work.
How much room do you need?

Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Post allergen details at base
- Stuffing typically contains gluten
If lunch moves, we hold the roast a little; just let us know.
Wrap parties can run into the evening.
What we serve, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb roasted on the spit is a lovely alternative to pork, and handy for anyone who doesn’t eat pork.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there is a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so nobody misses out.
Step by step

- You get a check on access and a quote.
- We agree our position at base with the location manager.
- We roast through the morning and carve fast when lunch is called.
- Afterwards we clear our spot at base.
How to prepare
