Common questions in Binsted
What’s the nearest station to Binsted?
Bentley (Hampshire) station, about 1.5 miles north-east of the centre.
Can you cater after a service at Church of the Holy Cross?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will confirm everything in writing.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
We bring plates and clear up after service.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Do you do DIY hire for parties?
You can hire the machine. We’ll talk you through it when we quote.
What about the neighbours?
It’s worth warning them: the roast cooks for hours and the smell travels. Some hosts invite them over for a roll.
The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
What a hog roast costs
There is no fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Travel to Binsted
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Which meats and sides you choose
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Getting an accurate quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- What the outdoor space is like
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- The date and time of the event
- Rules from the venue or landowner

Other occasions in Binsted
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a barbecue, you are not stuck flipping burgers all afternoon, and the food is ready for everyone at once. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
Why us?
- All the equipment comes with us
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it

Working with your venue
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.
The process
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your guests, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Autumn parties in Binsted get dark early: about 7:05pm by late September and 4:00pm by December. Plan lights for the path and the food.
