Why choose a hog roast in Alverstone Garden Village?
DIY or catered? DIY suits confident cooks and relaxed parties; catering suits bigger or more important parties. For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why book with us
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- Served at the time you choose
- A choice of salads and potatoes
See our pricing or the cost guide.
Catered or do it yourself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Planners, venues and businesses
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We will fit in with site rules.
