A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with sandwich platters, hot food feels more caring, especially in colder months. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

What else we do in Everton
Everton: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can you cater after a service at St Mary's Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Is it a sit-down meal?
Both are possible: rolls for a simple meal, plates with salads and potatoes for a fuller one.
Can you cater in Everton?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Everton and Hampshire. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Can you cater at home?
Most places, if the roaster can cook outside.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- Clearance from walls and branches
- Vehicle access near the cooking area
- One contact on the day
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
