What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, so it stays hot and juicy right to the last roll.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- How long the roast and service take
- Plates or china
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The number of people
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
What we need to know
To check availability and the cooking area, tell us:
- Roughly how many people
- Your date and serving time
- Where the event is
- Any dietary needs or allergies
We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Use our quote form.
Step by step
We work to your timings. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change.

- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
- We carve and serve when you’re ready to eat.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.

Your questions about a hog roast in Little Hoddington
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What’s the nearest station to Little Hoddington?
Hook station, about 3.7 miles north-east of the centre.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Is all of Hampshire covered?
Hampshire is part of our area. Ask for a quote.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
