Party hog roast near Damerham
Street parties and neighbourhood get-togethers suit a hog roast too, with the right permissions. We’re often asked to cater retirement celebrations and big family get-togethers, with hog roast rolls, coleslaw and crackling.
Country parties near Damerham suit a hog roast: slow-roasted and eaten outside. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Working with your venue
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
If you are a venue or event planner, we’re happy to work alongside your team.
Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Damerham
Is Damerham too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St George?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Do we need cover?
The roaster has its own cover; guests will want somewhere dry to eat if it rains.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.

Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
Have a word with the neighbours first: the roast cooks for hours.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
What happens on the day
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. Sunset in Damerham is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, so most summer parties eat in daylight. After about 4:05pm in December, we need light to carve.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the space and send a price.
- We set up hours ahead.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We clear the serving area and go.
How to prepare
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

Details that help
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:

Should I cook it myself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
