Common questions in Pilley
We are gathering after a service at Saint Nicholas Chapel: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
What’s the nearest station to Pilley?
Lymington Town station, about 1.5 miles south of the centre.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Send us the details and we will quote.
Do you do DIY hire for parties?
Yes, for confident cooks. Most people prefer us to cook so they can enjoy the party.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We don’t provide halal meat.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
What’s included?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Catered or do it yourself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Pilley parties: what to know
Pilley is about 2 miles north of Lymington, in Hampshire. We’re happy to travel to Pilley for parties. We cover all 683 towns and villages in Hampshire. You can also see our page for Southampton, about 11 miles away.
Guests arriving by train should know that the nearest station is Lymington Town station, about 1.5 miles south. After a christening at a church like Saint Nicholas Chapel, a hog roast in the garden is an easy way to feed family and friends. The New Forest National Park is within about 3 miles of Pilley, so many gardens around here have a great outlook. Near the coast, within about 3 miles, gardens can catch the wind, so we plan a sheltered spot.
Anywhere in SO41, we can bring the roaster to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. That could mean a party in a garden on Pilley Street, Burnt House Lane and May Lane, as long as there is somewhere outside to cook. For parties just outside Pilley, we cover Pilley Bailey (1 mile north-east), Warborne (1 mile south-west), Bull Hill (1 mile east), Portmore (1 mile south-east) and Boldre (1 mile west). Further out, we also cater in Eastleigh (15 miles north-east), Fareham (15 miles east), Totton (9 miles north), Chandler's Ford (15 miles north-east), Hedge End (14 miles north-east) and Romsey (15 miles north).
Nearby you’ll also find St Barbe Museum and Art Gallery (1.7 miles south) and Lymington New Forest Hospital (1.1 miles south-west). Within reach you’ll find Boldre Foreshore.
- Local schools include Southlands School (0.6 miles south-west) and Priestlands School (2.3 miles south-west)
- Pubs nearby include The Red Lion Inn (0.7 miles west)
For planners, venues and organisers
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
About the food
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, served in a roll with salads.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
Occasions we serve in Pilley
Most children happily eat pork in a roll, and chicken or a vegan sausage covers fussier eaters.
Whatever the occasion in Pilley, a slow roast goes a long way. We’re frequently asked to cater:
- Anniversary parties
- Back-garden get-togethers
- Retirement celebrations
- Christenings
Nearby historic houses include Beaulieu Palace House (4.4 miles north-east). For most parties, a garden or hall is easier than a historic venue with strict catering rules.
