- We set up hours ahead.
- We carve and serve at food time.

What else we do in Eversley
Eversley: your questions answered
Could you cook in Shepperlands Farm Nature Reserve?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you come out to small places like Eversley?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Is there a non-pork option?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We do not offer halal meat.
What comes with the hog roast?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Find out who does not eat pork for the alternatives
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
We get there early to start the roast, so it is cooking when guests arrive.
Ask about china for a sit-down party, quoted separately.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
