Party hog roast for Petersfield
Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Think about children’s portions
- Find out who does not eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
Have a word with the neighbours first: roasting takes hours and the smell travels.
Rotisserie chicken is popular at family parties.
How our party hog roast works in Petersfield
After a christening near Petersfield, a hog roast in the garden feeds the whole family, and nobody misses the celebration. Popular choices include apple sauce, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken, and typical bookings are for 18th, 21st, 40th, 50th and 60th birthdays and retirement celebrations.
In a town like Petersfield, a garden party with a hog roast is a classic choice, and a hall or club works if the garden is small. We need a level spot away from the house. The hog is roasted on site at your party, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your guests.
Step by step
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. For an evening party in Petersfield, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September it is around 7:05pm. Lights by the food keep the party going.

Petersfield questions
Can you cater after a service at St Peter's Church?
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. Send us the address.
How far is Petersfield from London?
Roughly 50 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you bring a gazebo?
We cover the cooking area, but a gazebo or indoor space for guests is a good backup.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
Do children like hog roasts?
Plain pork rolls go down well with children, and chicken or a vegan sausage covers fussy eaters.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
What about the neighbours?
Let them know in advance.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you’re not left with the mess.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with cooking for everyone yourself, you get to enjoy the party. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
What you get with us
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
