Questions from Horsebridge
What’s the nearest station to Horsebridge?
Mottisfont & Dunbridge station, about 3.2 miles south-west of the centre.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St James: can you cater?
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 typically elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Do you bring a gazebo?
Not for the cooking, but plan somewhere dry for guests.
Do you come to Horsebridge?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Horsebridge and Hampshire. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Can we cook it ourselves?
Yes, DIY machine hire is available. We will talk you through it when we quote.

- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed

Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes to make it a full meal.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a party buffet, a hog roast is hot and freshly carved, and nothing sits out all afternoon. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups normally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why us?
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- An itemised quote
- All the equipment comes with us
- Timed around your day
