About our party hog roast in Lymington
Hosting a party means juggling everything at once. With a hog roast, the food is sorted: we roast, carve, serve and clear. Typical bookings include reunions and neighbourhood parties, serving rotisserie chicken, hog roast rolls and jacket potatoes.
In Lymington, home and the local hall are popular party venues. Either works, given an outdoor spot to cook. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.
How it works
Serving is straightforward: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Evening parties in Lymington need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late September it is around 7:10pm. Lights by the food keep the party going.
- It starts with the date, the address and a rough guest list.
- You get a check on the date and the cooking spot, and a quote.

Full catering or machine hire?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.

We are gathering after a service at Church of St. Thomas the Apostle: can you cater?

Can we cook it ourselves?
If you are happy to roast and carve, yes. Catering is the easier option.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Is our garden suitable?
Tell us about the garden and the access, and we’ll give you an honest answer.

After a christening at a church like Church of St. Thomas the Apostle, a hog roast in the garden is an easy way to feed family and friends. The New Forest National Park is within about 5 miles of Lymington, so a garden party here comes with a lovely backdrop.

Streets in the area include High Street, The Square and Priestlands Place, and a party on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster.

Space, access and the venue
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A level patio, lawn or driveway
- A side gate or passage wide enough to wheel the equipment
- Clearance from walls, fences and overhanging branches
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
