- A clear list of what’s included
The menu, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb
With lamb as well, there are two roasts to choose from, which works well for larger groups.
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing make the roll, just as they should.
Prices and what affects them
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Whether you want china
- Menu choices and extras
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The serving time and how long we are on site
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

Planners, venues and businesses
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We will fit in with site rules.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
Expect us to be on site for much of the day, since slow roasting starts early.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Catered or do it yourself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.

South Wonston: your questions answered
Can you cater after a service at St Margaret's?
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.
Do you come out to small places like South Wonston?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you are not left with the mess.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll adjust.
Is all of Hampshire covered?
We cater across Hampshire. Contact us for a price.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
