What else we do in Penny Pot
Full catering or machine hire?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Before you choose a spot
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- A heads-up for next door
- A wet-weather plan for guests
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

How the day works
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. For an evening party in Penny Pot, think about light: 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.
- Show us the garden or drive.

Send us the date, the address or GU24 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat. We will check the date and send a quote. Send us your details through our quote form.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans

- Request gluten-free rolls
Have a word with the neighbours first: roasting takes hours and the smell travels, and they may ask for a roll.

Penny Pot: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast in Milford Green and Coxhill Green?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the nearest station to Penny Pot?
Brookwood station, about 2.7 miles south of the centre.
Do children like hog roasts?
Yes, and tell us how many children are coming, so we get the amounts right.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Is a hog roast right for your party?
DIY or catered? DIY suits confident cooks and relaxed parties; catering suits bigger or more important parties. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
