How our party hog roast works in Privett
If you’d rather cook yourself, DIY machine hire is an option. Most hosts prefer us to do it, so they can enjoy the party. Typical bookings include garden parties and anniversary parties, with coleslaw, a vegan burger or sausage and jacket potatoes.
Country parties near Privett suit a hog roast: slow-roasted and eaten outside. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your guests.
Why choose a hog roast in Privett?
Next to a barbecue, you are not stuck flipping burgers all afternoon, and the food is ready for everyone at once. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.

Hosting a hog roast party in Privett
Privett is about 5 miles north-west of Petersfield, in Hampshire. We set up the roaster at gardens, car parks, yards and venues around Privett and the surrounding area. We bring hog roasts to all 683 towns and villages in Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages. Our bookings stretch from Privett to Southampton (18 miles away).
Nearby historic houses include Hinton Ampner House (5 miles west). For most parties, a garden or hall is easier than a historic venue with strict catering rules. For guests coming by train, the nearest station is Petersfield station, about 4.7 miles south-east. The South Downs National Park is within about 6 miles of Privett, so many gardens around here have a great outlook.
We bring hog roasts to parties all over the GU34 postcode area. Local streets include Church Road and Merepond Lane; a party on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in.

Privett: your questions answered
Is Privett close to London?
About 52 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.
What happens on the day
We work to your timings. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. In Privett, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so most summer parties eat in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 4:00pm, need lights by the roaster.

Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing typically contains gluten

- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
If the party runs late, the roast can wait a little, so just let us know.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
