Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Party hog roast in Forest Corner, carved to order
A party hog roast turns a garden party into an occasion. We roast on site in Forest Corner, then carve at the time you choose, so you are not stuck in the kitchen. On the menu are hog roast rolls, crackling and coleslaw, and we’re frequently booked for christenings and back-garden get-togethers.
A country party near Forest Corner is perfect for a hog roast: roasted all afternoon and carved on the lawn. Plan shelter in case it rains. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
What happens on the day
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking does not depend on mains power. For an evening party in Forest Corner, think about light: it is light until about 9:25pm in June but only about 7:10pm in late September. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.

Why Forest Corner hosts choose us

- We bring everything to cook and serve

What a hog roast costs
Things that change the price:
- Numbers
- How long the roast and service take
- The date and time of year
- How easy it is to reach the spot
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
What to tell us
Here’s what we will ask:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- The venue or postcode
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Any venue rules
Numbers not final yet? Give us your best estimate and we will quote on that, and you can confirm nearer the time. Send us your details through our quote form.
Space, access and the venue
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A spot well away from the house
- A word with the neighbours
- Somewhere for us to park nearby

Questions from Forest Corner
Is Forest Corner too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
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’ll follow the site rules.
Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
Will the smell bother the neighbours?
A friendly word helps: roasting takes hours. They may want a roll.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Full catering or machine hire?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Why choose party hog roast in Forest Corner?
The smell and the carving make it part of the party.
