What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed goes into rolls or onto plates.

Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:

- Menu choices and extras
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Site access
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.

- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We pack down and take our waste.
How to prepare

Catered or do it yourself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Where the roaster can go in Hordle
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- Space away from marquees, stalls and trees
- A level pitch with firm ground
- The landowner’s or council’s agreement
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
From the roaster
- Crackling
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Hog roast rolls
- Coleslaw
- Rotisserie chicken
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)

What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.

How soon do you get booked up?
