FAQs for Langley
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 work to whatever the site needs.
Which station is closest to Langley?
Hamble station, about 4.7 miles north-east of the centre.
Do we need to wash up?
We bring plates and clear up after service.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
What comes with the hog roast?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.

Should I cook it myself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
How it works
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. At midsummer, it’s light in Langley until about 9:20pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

Planning for dietary needs

- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Find out who does not eat pork for the alternatives
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing usually contains gluten
Clear the route to the garden before we arrive, so we can bring everything through.
Sides turn rolls into a proper party meal.
