Party hog roast for Hiltingbury
Party hog roast in Hiltingbury, carved to order
If you’d rather cook yourself, DIY machine hire is an option. Most people choose the catered option, so they can enjoy the party. Typical bookings include street parties and christenings and naming days, serving jacket potatoes, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken.
Around Hiltingbury, a garden with room to spare is all you need. A hog roast fits right in. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish before booking.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to doing it all yourself, a catered hog roast gives you the day back. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why Hiltingbury hosts choose us
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Our staff serve and clear

Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
Warn the neighbours: the roast cooks for hours, and they may ask for a roll.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes to make it a full meal.
Planning the cooking spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- Parking close to the house
- Clearance from walls, fences and overhanging branches
- A word with the neighbours

The process
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Evening parties in Hiltingbury need a little planning: it is light until about 9:25pm in June but only about 7:10pm in late September. Lights by the food keep the party going.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the space and send a price.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Before we arrive
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot

Planning help
Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.

Hiltingbury: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Hiltingbury?
The closest is Chandlers Ford station, roughly 1 mile away.
Can you cater after a service at St. Martin in the Woods?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
How do we prepare?
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. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
What about kids?
Most children like pork in a soft roll, with chicken as an alternative.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Is clearing up included?
We bring plates and clear up after service.
What comes off the roaster
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and it suits fussy eaters.
