A hog roast near Rockbourne
Rockbourne: your questions answered
Is Rockbourne too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Andrew: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Do you come to Rockbourne?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Rockbourne and the rest of Hampshire included. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Is clearing up included?
Plates come as standard and our staff clear the serving area.
Do children like hog roasts?
Yes, and tell us how many children are coming, so we can plan quantities.
How our party hog roast works in Rockbourne
Plan where the roaster will go: a level spot away from the house and trees, under cover. We will help you choose. For big family get-togethers and retirement celebrations, we can cook rotisserie chicken, coleslaw and jacket potatoes and more.
A country party near Rockbourne is perfect for a hog roast: slow-roasted and eaten outside. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
How it works
Your timings come first. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change. Evening parties in Rockbourne need a little planning: it is light until about 9:25pm in June but only about 7:10pm in late September. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.
- It starts with the date, the address and a rough guest list.
- We check the space and send a clear quote.
- On the day we arrive hours ahead and start the roast under cover.
- We carve and serve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we tidy up the serving area.
How to prepare
- Let us know about tight access
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand

Planning help
What a hog roast costs
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every party is different. What matters most:
- The journey to the venue
- Numbers
- Menu choices and extras
- The serving time and how long we are on site
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- The date and time of the event
- Rough numbers
- Where the event is
- Anything the venue has asked for
Not sure how many to cater for? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, and you can confirm nearer the time. Use our quote form.
Perfect for your party in Rockbourne
Children normally love it, and chicken or a vegan sausage covers fussier eaters.
Our roaster has been booked for all sorts of events around Rockbourne, including:
- Anniversary parties
- Street parties
- Engagement parties
- Big family get-togethers
Historic houses near Rockbourne include Breamore House (2.4 miles east). For most parties, a garden or hall is easier than a historic venue with strict catering rules.
Questions to ask before you book
- Where the roaster goes and what it needs
- Payment terms and cancellation policy
- Travel and any London charges
- How long the roast takes and when they’ll arrive
Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Find out who does not eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Request gluten-free rolls
Our chef carves and our staff serve at the agreed time, then clear up the serving area.
Rotisserie chicken is popular at family parties.

Why choose a hog roast in Rockbourne?
Compared with takeaway pizzas, the roast is an event in itself. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A heads-up for next door
- Access for the roaster through a gate or passage
- A wet-weather plan for guests
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

The menu, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls

A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll.
