Slow-roasted pork in Setley
Party hog roast near Setley
A party at home needs a little planning for the roaster: level ground outdoors, clear of the house and fences. We will help you choose. We’re frequently asked to cater family reunions and leaving and retirement do’s, serving rotisserie chicken, apple sauce and coleslaw.
In a small place like Setley, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will plan the route. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat.
Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
Clear the route to the garden before we arrive, so we can bring everything through.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
What comes off the roaster
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
FAQs for Setley
What’s the nearest station to Setley?
Brockenhurst station, about 0.6 miles north of the centre.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Nicholas?
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 generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you provide china?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Should we warn the neighbours?
Let them know in advance.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Do you bring plates and clear up?
We tidy the serving area, so there is very little washing up.
Do you do DIY hire for parties?
You can hire the machine. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
