Party hog roast in Bentworth
FAQs for Bentworth
Can you cater after a service at St. Mary's Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What’s the nearest station to Bentworth?
The closest is Alton station, roughly 3.5 miles away.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We’ll bring the rest.
Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will adjust.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Can you do a hog roast in our back garden?
Tell us about the garden and the access, and we will give you an honest answer.
About our party hog roast in Bentworth
Street parties and neighbourhood get-togethers suit a hog roast too, once the road closure or permission is in place. For close and cul-de-sac parties and christenings, we’ll put together a menu of hog roast rolls, apple sauce and jacket potatoes and more.
Near Bentworth, parties are often in gardens or fields. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will plan the route. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
Should I cook it myself?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
What a hog roast costs
Here’s what affects the price:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Menu choices and extras
- Plates or china
- The date and time of year
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
Getting an accurate quote
These are the details we need:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Allergies we should know about
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Rules from the venue or landowner
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so it’s easy to compare like for like. Fill in our quote form.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Access for the roaster through a gate or passage
- Flat ground in the garden or on the drive
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors for guests if it rains
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
Popular choices
- Rotisserie chicken
- Coleslaw
- Salads
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
- Hog roast rolls
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Crackling
- Jacket potatoes
Looking after everyone
Some guests won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Think about children’s portions
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
If the party runs late, the roast can wait a little, so just let us know.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes to make it a full meal.
