Organising for someone else?
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Party hog roast in Little Atherfield, carved to order
Plan where the roaster will go: level ground outdoors, clear of the house and fences. We will help you choose. Whether it’s retirement parties and neighbourhood parties, we can cook a vegan burger or sausage, hog roast rolls and coleslaw.
In a small place like Little Atherfield, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will handle the rest. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.

Little Atherfield: your questions answered
Is Little Atherfield too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
Do we need a marquee for a party hog roast?
Not for the cooking, but plan somewhere dry for guests.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Can we hire the hog roast machine for our party?
Yes, for confident cooks. Catering is the easier option.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we will quote.

- The deposit, balance and cancellation terms
- Whether plates or china are included
Step by step
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. In Little Atherfield, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so most summer parties eat 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 garden or drive and quote.
- We set up hours ahead.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We tidy up and pack away.
How to prepare
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking

How we price a hog roast for your party
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Menu choices and extras
- The date and time of year
- Numbers
- Time on site
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- What the outdoor space is like
- Dietary requirements
- Your menu choices
- Anything the venue has asked for
For a quote, send us a few details: the date and serving time, the venue or PO38 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Send us your details through our quote form.
Space, access and the venue
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- A side gate or passage wide enough to wheel the equipment
- Space for our vehicle near the drive
- Neighbours warned about the smell
Little Atherfield is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we will plan the journey.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
