Slow-roasted pork in Hamble-le-Rice
How our party hog roast works in Hamble-le-Rice
Plan where the roaster will go: level ground outdoors, clear of the house and fences. We’ll help you choose. We’re often asked to cater wedding anniversaries and milestone birthdays, with coleslaw, apple sauce and rotisserie chicken.
In a place like Hamble-le-Rice, a party at home is generally the easiest option. Let us know how we reach the garden, and we’ll bring everything else. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
A closer look at the menu
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, balancing the rich, salty pork.

How it works

Sunset in Hamble-le-Rice is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so most summer parties eat in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 4:00pm, need lights by the roaster.

- We clear the serving area and go.

Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Clearance from walls, fences and overhanging branches
- A step-free way into the garden
- A heads-up for next door
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Full catering or machine hire?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing generally contains gluten
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
Our chef carves and our staff serve at the agreed time, then tidy up.
Sides turn rolls into a proper party meal.
