Privett questions
What’s the nearest station to Privett?
Petersfield station, about 4.7 miles south-east of the centre.
Is Privett 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.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Do you provide china?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Can you cater our wrap?
Yes, a hog roast suits a relaxed wrap party, with lamb or chicken if you like.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Your crew will want somewhere dry to eat.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a photo if you are unsure.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.

Rural locations near Privett can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
