FAQs for Poulner
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 will work to whatever the site needs.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What about a wrap party?
Yes, a hog roast suits a relaxed wrap party, with lamb or chicken if you like.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you are not left with the mess.
Do you cover Poulner?
Yes, Poulner is in our area. Send us the address and we’ll check the date.
Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Halal isn’t offered
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Post allergen details at base
We clear our spot after lunch.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

- We check access to base and quote.
- Our position and arrival are agreed in advance.
- When lunch is called, we carve and serve quickly.
- We pack away straight after service.
Preparing for the day

- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
