Party hog roast near Marchwood
In Marchwood, a hog roast is a favourite for birthdays and garden parties: one roast, enough for a crowd. Our staff serve and clear. Whether it is milestone birthdays and street parties, we’ll put together a menu of jacket potatoes, a vegan burger or sausage and coleslaw and more.
For a party in Marchwood, home is frequently the best venue. Tell us about the drive and the garden, and we’ll do the rest. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.
How it works
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change. A summer party in Marchwood stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.
- You tell us the date, your address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check the date and the garden or drive, then send a quote.
- We arrive in good time and start roasting.
- We carve and serve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we tidy up the serving area.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about tight access
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Have a level outdoor spot ready

Can you cater after a service at Church of St John the Apostle?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.

A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
Can you cater in Marchwood?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will confirm availability.
Is a hog roast good for a children’s party?
Most children like pork in a soft roll, and chicken or a vegan sausage covers fussy eaters.

Let them know in advance.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will confirm everything in writing.
