Party hog roast in Badger Farm, carved to order
Hosting a party means juggling everything at once. A hog roast takes the food off your list: we cook, carve and serve. Whether it is engagement celebrations and family reunions, we will put together a menu of crackling, jacket potatoes and apple sauce.
In a place like Badger Farm, a party at home is typically the easiest option. Tell us about the drive and the garden, and we’ll do the rest. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish before booking.
Space, access and the venue
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- A word with the neighbours
- A level patio, lawn or driveway
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

What comes off the roaster
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, so it stays hot and juicy right to the last roll.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.

Badger Farm questions
What’s the nearest station to Badger Farm?
Winchester station, about 1.5 miles north-east of the centre.
We are gathering after a service at Saint Luke: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Will the smell bother the neighbours?
Let them know in advance.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
Do we need cover?
We cover the cooking area, but a gazebo or indoor space for guests is a good backup.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
