About our party hog roast in Holybourne
Throwing a party is hard work. A hog roast takes the food off your list: we cook, carve and serve. We serve a vegan burger or sausage, coleslaw and hog roast rolls, and we’re regularly asked to cater back-garden get-togethers and christenings and naming days.
Country parties near Holybourne suit a hog roast: slow-roasted and eaten outside. Plan shelter in case it rains. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish before booking.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a restaurant booking, a hog roast at home lets everyone relax in the garden. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
What you get with us
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork

The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, so it stays hot and juicy.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Tell us how many vegans to expect, and we will bring enough vegan burgers or sausages.
Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. 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.
Holybourne parties: what to know

Within reach of Holybourne are historic houses such as Bentworth Hall (4.6 miles west) and Hall Place (4.6 miles west).

- Allergies we should know about
- Your menu choices
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The date and when you’d like to eat

How it works
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so keep us posted on the day. A summer party in Holybourne stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Tell us about your party: date, address and numbers.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We set up hours ahead.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Preparing for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
