About our party hog roast in Laverstoke
Plan where the roaster will go: level ground outdoors, clear of the house and fences. We’ll help you choose. Whether it is big family get-togethers and retirement celebrations, we can cook hog roast rolls, a vegan burger or sausage and crackling for your guests.
Country parties near Laverstoke suit a hog roast: slow-roasted and eaten outside. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.
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. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
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.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there’s a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so nobody misses out.

Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Laverstoke
Do you come out to small places like Laverstoke?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you cater after a service at St Nicholas' Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Is our garden suitable?
Tell us about the garden and the access, and we will tell you if it works.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
Do we need to wash up?
Plates come as standard and our staff clear the serving area.
What comes with the hog roast?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Do you bring a gazebo?
We cover the cooking area, but plan somewhere dry for guests.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Think about children’s portions
- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
We get there early to start the roast, so it’s cooking when guests arrive.
Rotisserie chicken is popular at family parties.
How the day works
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. A summer party in Laverstoke stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.

- We check the date and the garden or drive, then send a quote.
- We set up early and get the hog roasting.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve when you’re ready.
- Afterwards we tidy up the serving area.
How to prepare
