Common questions in Liphook
Do you cater at venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Can you cater after a service at St Mary's Church Centre?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Will people get crackling?
It is: slow roasting crisps the skin and we break it up for everyone.
Can we just hire the roaster?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
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 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 check it with you before booking.

What happens on the day
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: around Liphook, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 4:00pm.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
The menu, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Vegan guests can have a vegan burger or sausage, so everyone has something hot.
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
