Party hog roast near Pennington

Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Pennington
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
What’s the nearest station to Pennington?
Lymington Town station, about 1.2 miles north-east of the centre.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Do children like hog roasts?
Most children like pork in a soft roll, and chicken or a vegan sausage covers fussy eaters.

Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Can you work around our timings?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll adjust.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
The process
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking does not depend on mains power. In Pennington, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:25pm, so most summer parties eat in daylight. After about 4:05pm in December, we need light to carve.
- It starts with the date, the address and a rough guest list.
- We check the date and the garden or drive, then send a quote.
- We set up early and get the hog roasting.
- When it’s time to eat, the chef carves and we serve.
- We clear up and pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Send final numbers in good time
- Name a contact for the day

What we serve, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.

We need room to cook safely and under cover. Before booking, check:
- Parking close to the house
- A heads-up for next door
