How our party hog roast works in St Mary Bourne
Rolls are easy for party guests to eat standing up, and pork rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling are just that. Alternatives cover anyone who does not eat pork. On the menu are rotisserie chicken, hog roast rolls and coleslaw, and we’re regularly asked to cater engagement celebrations and naming ceremonies.
Near St Mary Bourne, parties are often in gardens or fields. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll handle the rest. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish.
Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Find out who does not eat pork for the alternatives
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
Clear the route to the garden before we arrive, so we can bring everything through.
Sides turn rolls into a proper party meal.
Space, access and the venue
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- Clearance from walls, fences and overhanging branches
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat
- A heads-up for next door

Prices and what affects them
There is no fixed price list, because every party is different. What matters most:
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Numbers
- Site access
- The journey to the venue
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
