Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Hollywater
Can you cater after a service at St Mark's Sacred Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
What’s the nearest station to Hollywater?
Liphook station, about 3.1 miles south-east of the centre.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Can we hire the hog roast machine for our party?
You can hire the machine. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
Do children like hog roasts?
Generally, yes, so we get the amounts right.
Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
We get there early to start the roast, so the smell is the first thing guests notice.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

What comes off the roaster

For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty.
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.
What affects the price in Hollywater
Your quote depends on:
- Numbers
- Site access
- The date and time of year
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. Every event gets its own quote, with everything listed.
What to tell us
When you contact us, it helps to include:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- What the outdoor space is like
- Roughly how many people
Every party is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your party for a quote: fill in our quote form.
Full catering or machine hire?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
