Party hog roast for Martyr Worthy
About our party hog roast in Martyr Worthy
A party at home needs a little planning for the roaster: a level spot away from the house and trees, under cover. We’ll help you choose. Whether it is leaving and retirement do’s and engagement parties, we will put together a menu of jacket potatoes, apple sauce and hog roast rolls.
In a small place like Martyr Worthy, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll handle the rest. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat.
Planners, venues and businesses
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork for the alternatives
If the party runs late, the roast can wait a little, so tell us if timings change.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes to make it a full meal.
The menu, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: grilled halloumi with vegetables, in a roll or on a plate.
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it’s needed, so it stays hot and juicy right to the last roll.
Questions from Martyr Worthy
Is Martyr Worthy too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What’s the nearest station to Martyr Worthy?
Winchester station, about 3.5 miles south-west of the centre.
Can we hire the hog roast machine for our party?
Yes, DIY machine hire is available. We will talk you through it when we quote.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
Catered or do it yourself?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.

The process

Evening parties in Martyr Worthy need a little planning: it is light until about 9:25pm in June but only about 7:10pm in late September. Lights by the food keep the party going.
- It starts with the date, the address and a rough guest list.
- We check the space and send a clear quote.
- We set up early and get the hog roasting.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve when you are ready.
- Afterwards we tidy up the serving area.
How to prepare
