Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We will keep everyone in the loop.
Hog roast hire in New Copse, carved to order
There is nothing quite like the smell of a hog roast drifting across a garden or field. We roast slowly on site in New Copse, then serve it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Typical bookings include parties at home and milestone birthdays, with new potatoes, rotisserie chicken and spit-roast lamb.
In a hamlet or village like New Copse, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. You will know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.

Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Find out who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
Let us know if the day runs late: a cooked roast can be held for a while before carving.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.

FAQs for New Copse
Is New Copse close to London?
About 49 miles from central London.
Which station is closest to New Copse?
The closest is Alton station, roughly 4.3 miles away.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Is crackling included?
Of course: slow roasting crisps the skin and we break it up for everyone.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Compared with a plated meal, a hog roast does not need a kitchen, which normally keeps the cost down. Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
