About our party hog roast in Ossemsley
Party food needs to be easy to eat, and pork rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling are just that. Alternatives cover anyone who does not eat pork. On the menu are hog roast rolls, crackling and jacket potatoes, and we are often booked for big birthday parties and street parties.
A country party near Ossemsley is perfect for a hog roast: slow-roasted and eaten outside. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat.
Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Think about children’s portions
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
On the day, we arrive hours before the party starts, so it is cooking when guests arrive.
Bunting or festoon lights near the serving table make a lovely party setting.

About the food
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and it suits fussy eaters.
How it works
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. A summer party in Ossemsley 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.
- Tell us about your party: date, address and numbers.
- We check the space and send a price.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Before we arrive
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

Is Ossemsley 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.
Which station is closest to Ossemsley?
The closest is New Milton station, roughly 1.7 miles away.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
What about kids?
Most children like pork in a soft roll, with chicken as an alternative.

Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
Is our garden suitable?
Most gardens can work, and a way to wheel the equipment through. Send us a picture.
Do you bring a gazebo?
We bring cover for the roaster; plan shelter for guests in bad weather.
