About our party hog roast in Beaulieu
Plan where the roaster will go: level ground outdoors, clear of the house and fences. We’ll check it with you. Whether it’s christenings and naming days and getting-engaged parties, we’ll put together a menu of a vegan burger or sausage, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls and more.
A country party near Beaulieu is perfect for a hog roast: slow-roasted and eaten outside. Plan shelter in case it rains. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Common questions in Beaulieu
We’re gathering after a service at Church of the Blessed Virgin and Child: 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. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
What’s included?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Can you cater in Beaulieu?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll check the date.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
What if things run late?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will adjust.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Will a hog roast fit in our garden?
Most gardens can work, given access for the equipment. Send us a picture.

A christening at Church of the Blessed Virgin and Child followed by a hog roast at home is a simple, popular plan.

Planning help
Should I cook it myself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to ordering takeaway, the roast is an event in itself. Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. Every event gets its own quote, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Why book with us
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Served at the time you choose
