About our party hog roast in New Alresford
Street parties and neighbourhood get-togethers suit a hog roast too, once the road closure or permission is in place. We’re often asked to cater back-garden get-togethers and retirement parties, with hog roast rolls, a vegan burger or sausage and jacket potatoes.
Parties around New Alresford are frequently relaxed garden affairs. A hog roast fits right in. The hog is roasted on site at your party, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your guests.

The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- A level patio, lawn or driveway
- A spot well away from the house
- Access for the roaster through a gate or passage
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a buffet, a hog roast is hot and freshly carved. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
Why New Alresford hosts choose us
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Planned to your running order
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Carved to order by a chef

Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
Have a word with the neighbours first: roasting takes hours and the smell travels, and they may ask for a roll.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes to make it a full meal.

FAQs for New Alresford
Is New Alresford close to London?
About 54 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St John the Baptist: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we will talk you through it.
Do we need a marquee for a party hog roast?
Not for the cooking, but plan somewhere dry for guests.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
