About our party hog roast in Passfield
A hog roast makes a party at home feel special. We roast on site in Passfield, then carve at the time you choose, so you are not stuck in the kitchen. Typical bookings include garden parties and getting-engaged parties, serving jacket potatoes, coleslaw and hog roast rolls.
In a small place like Passfield, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll handle the rest. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.
Should I cook it myself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Space, access and the venue
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A wet-weather plan for guests
- A side gate or passage wide enough to wheel the equipment
- Somewhere for us to park nearby

Planners, venues and businesses
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We will fit in with site rules.
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Prices and what affects them
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Crockery choices
- Travel to Passfield
- Season and day of the week
- Time on site
The main driver is numbers: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.

Passfield questions
Do you cater at venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.

Liphook station, about 2.3 miles south-east of the centre.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You will get allergen details for everything.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Do children like hog roasts?
Most children like pork in a soft roll, and chicken or a vegan sausage covers fussy eaters.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. Evening parties in Passfield need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September it’s around 7:05pm. Lights by the food keep the party going.
- Send a photo of where the roaster could go.
- We check the space and quote.
- We cook for hours on site.
- Our staff serve rolls and sides.
- We clear up so you do not have to.
Getting ready for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
