Questions from Hungerford
Do you cater at venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is Hungerford 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.
Can we have lamb or chicken?
It’s built around the hog, but lamb and chicken can be added.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will adjust.
How do we prepare?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.

Catered or do it yourself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.

Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:

- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
Expect us to be on site for much of the day, since slow roasting starts early.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
About the food
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb on the spit roasts gently for hours, and it’s carved the same way, often with mint sauce.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.

How the day works
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day. Around midsummer it stays light in Hungerford until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so summer evening service is usually in daylight. In December it is dark by about 4:05pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
Before we arrive
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Send final numbers in good time
