What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: grilled halloumi with vegetables.

Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Put the menu on the invitation
You will not need to worry about the food on the day. We get there early, cook, carve and serve, and our staff clear the serving area afterwards.
Sides turn a roll into a proper meal, and they’re listed in your quote.
How the day works
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. Late September evenings in Chilbolton lose the light at about 7:10pm, and in December it is nearer 4:00pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
- We arrive well ahead, put the cover up and get the hog roasting.
- Our chef carves to order and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
Getting ready for the day
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Name a contact for the day

What affects the price in Chilbolton

- Time on site
- The journey to the venue
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.

Your questions about a hog roast in Chilbolton
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Mary the Less: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
What’s the nearest station to Chilbolton?
The closest is Andover station, roughly 4.7 miles away.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so tell us your best estimate. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
Do you cover the whole of Hampshire?
We cover Hampshire and the rest of London and the South East. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
Is it just pork?
It’s built around the hog, with lamb and chicken as extras.
Full catering or machine hire?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
