Party hog roast in Blackfield
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A heads-up for next door
- A spot well away from the house
- Somewhere for us to park nearby
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before you book.

About our party hog roast in Blackfield
A hog roast works for street parties as well, once the road closure or permission is in place. We’re often asked to cater naming ceremonies and summer parties in the garden, with a vegan burger or sausage, hog roast rolls and apple sauce.
For a party in Blackfield, home is frequently the best venue. Let us know how we reach the garden, and we’ll bring everything else. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

Planning for dietary needs
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
A cooked roast holds for a while, so tell us if timings change.
Add chicken for younger or fussier guests.
Blackfield questions
We’re gathering after a service at St Francis: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do you cater at venues 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.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we’ll check.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.
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 happens on the day
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. Evening parties in Blackfield need a little planning: it’s light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:10pm in late September. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We set up hours ahead.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We clear the serving area and go.
How to prepare
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Give us final numbers a week or so before

- Any venue rules
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Rough numbers
Busy weekends book up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Send us your date for a quote: use our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
The menu, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there’s a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so nobody misses out.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
