Party hog roast in Horseport, slow-roasted on site
For a christening or naming day in Horseport, a hog roast in the garden feeds the whole family, and nobody misses the celebration. Typical bookings include christenings and naming days and milestone birthdays, with crackling, rotisserie chicken and jacket potatoes.
Near Horseport, parties are often in gardens or fields. Let us know about access, and we’ll handle the rest. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.
How the day works
From setting up to the last roll, we look after the food, so you can get on with your party in Horseport. In Horseport, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:25pm, so an early-evening carve is usually in daylight. After about 4:05pm in December, we need light to carve.
- 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.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Before we arrive
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

Full catering or machine hire?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Is a hog roast right for your party?
Instead of booking a restaurant, a hog roast at home lets everyone relax in the garden. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why us?
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

Questions from Horseport
Do you cater at venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
We’re gathering after a service at St Mary's Church: can you cater?

Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you are not left with the mess.
What about kids?
Most children like pork in a soft roll, and chicken or a vegan sausage covers fussy eaters.
