Questions from Harbridge
Can you cater after a service at Church of All Saints?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is Harbridge 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.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
What do people get?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Should we warn the neighbours?
Give them a heads-up, especially if the roaster is near a fence.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Is our garden suitable?
Describe the space and the way in, and we will give you an honest answer.
How we price a hog roast for your party
Each price is built from:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Site access
- The number of people
- Travel to Harbridge
Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
What to tell us
For a quick, accurate price, send us:
- An estimate of numbers
- What the outdoor space is like
- Your menu choices
- The venue or postcode
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Use our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Is a hog roast right for your party?
Instead of booking a restaurant, a hog roast at home lets everyone relax in the garden. Travel matters for the price: travel is included in your quote. Give us the address for an accurate figure.
Why Harbridge hosts choose us
- Our staff serve and clear
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
See our prices page or the cost guide.
Working with your venue
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
We set up where we agreed and stay out of the way, so the party carries on around us.
Ask about china for a sit-down party, quoted separately.
