Preston Crowmarsh questions
Is Preston Crowmarsh too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you do a hog roast in Howbery Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Is a hog roast good for a children’s party?
Generally, yes, so we can plan quantities.
Can we hire the hog roast machine for our party?
If you are happy to roast and carve, yes. Catering is the easier option.
What if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
What comes with the hog roast?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We’ll bring the rest.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
A hog roast compared with other options
Instead of booking a restaurant, you keep the party at home, with room for everyone. Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.

What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes to make it a proper meal, especially at a sit-down event.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Find out who does not eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
Our chef carves and our staff serve at the agreed time, then clear up the serving area.
A string of lights by the carving station looks great as it gets dark.
