Questions from Maybush
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Could you cook in St James' Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
Do you do wrap parties?
Of course. Send us the details.
What about locations off the beaten track?
We can, given access details. Tell us about tracks and ground.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat.
Do you work to set times?
Yes. Tell us the lunch time and a contact on the day, and we will adjust where we can.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
For a wrap party, it’s a relaxed way to finish. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
Why Maybush hosts choose us
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it

For event organisers in Maybush
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
What a hog roast costs
The biggest factors are:
- Whether you want china
- How many people are eating
- The date and time of year
- Which meats and sides you choose
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
