Hog roast for events in Colbury
About our hog roast for events in Colbury
A hog roast is one of the most popular stalls at events in Colbury. We cook on site and carve to order, so visitors get hot food fast. Popular choices include crackling, hog roast rolls and halloumi skewers, and we are regularly asked to cater summer fêtes and fun runs and sports events.
Rural events near Colbury can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so a hog roast is a welcome sight. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish before you book.
Colbury: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Colbury?
Ashurst New Forest station, about 1.2 miles south-west of the centre.
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.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Can a hog roast raise money?
Tell us about the event and how you’d like to raise money, and we will suggest options.
Do you have documents for event organisers?
Tell us what your event requires, and we will tell you what we can send.
Is electricity needed?
Cooking is gas-fired. A supply is useful for lights.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
Can you come to a PTA fair?
School fairs suit a hog roast. Check vehicle access with the school.
Before you choose a spot
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Before booking, check:

- Remember stuffing typically contains gluten
- Halal is not offered
- Signpost the stall clearly
Name an organiser to meet us.
The vegan option is popular at festivals.
The process
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. The smell typically brings people over long before we carve. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Colbury are dark by about 4:00pm, so plan lights for the stall and the queue.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- We check access to the pitch and send a price.
- We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
- We serve to order through the event.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
How to prepare
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Think about shelter for your visitors
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a barbecue stall, a hog roast serves quickly from one roast. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to:
- Menu choices and extras
- Season and day of the week
- Time on site
- Access to the cooking area
The main driver is numbers: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What we need to know
When you get in touch, it helps to include:
- The venue or postcode
- What the outdoor space is like
- The date and time of the event
- Rough numbers
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your event: send us your details through our quote form.

- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
