Should I cook it myself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
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.

Hounsdown: your questions answered
We’re gathering after a service at Colbury Christ Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.

The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.

Plates come as standard and our staff clear the serving area.
Do you come to Hounsdown?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will confirm availability.
Will a hog roast fit in our garden?

When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.

What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, roasted until golden.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat
- A word with the neighbours
- A level patio, lawn or driveway
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
