Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Let us know roughly how many children
We set up where we agreed and stay out of the way, leaving the garden to you and your guests.

Party hog roast in Lyndhurst, slow-roasted on site
Milestone birthdays call for something special, and a whole hog roasting in the garden is exactly that. Your guests will smell it from the street. For getting-engaged parties and summer parties in the garden, we will put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, crackling and a vegan burger or sausage for your guests.
Around Lyndhurst, a garden with room to spare is all you need. It suits that kind of party. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.

What we serve, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
What happens on the day
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. Evening parties in Lyndhurst need a little planning: it is light until about 9:25pm in June but only about 7:10pm in late September. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.

Lyndhurst: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Can you cater after a service at Church of Our Lady and St Edward?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
What do people get?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we will check.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Planners, venues and businesses
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.

If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
