Diets, allergies and alternatives
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Think about children’s portions
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
At food time, we carve and serve, then tidy up.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
Catered or do it yourself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.

- A heads-up for next door
- A step-free way into the garden
- Parking close to the house

Why choose a hog roast in Crookham?
Compared with takeaway pizzas, a hog roast is part of the party, not just the food. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
Why Crookham hosts choose us
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Planned to your running order
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
See our prices page and the cost guide.
What happens on the day
Here’s how the day generally runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. At midsummer, it’s light in Crookham until about 9:25pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- It starts with the date, the address and a rough guest list.
- You get a check on the date and the cooking spot, and a quote.
- We arrive in good time and start roasting.
- We carve and serve at the agreed time.
- We pack away and leave the garden tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Give us a contact number for the day

Prices and what affects them
We do not use a fixed price list, because every party is different. What matters most:
- The number of people
- Travel to Crookham
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Crockery choices
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.

To check availability and the cooking area, tell us:

- Roughly how many people

Every party is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your party for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.
