- Somewhere dry for guests to eat
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

The process
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so keep us posted on the day. At midsummer, it’s light in Stonehills until about 9:20pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.
- It starts with the date, the address and a rough guest list.
- You get a check on the date and the cooking spot, and a quote.
- On the day we arrive hours ahead and start the roast under cover.
- We carve and serve at the agreed time.
- We pack away and leave the garden tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a restaurant booking, you keep the party at home, with room for everyone. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups typically cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why us?
- Planned to your running order
- An itemised quote
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Sides to make it a full meal

DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
The menu, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it’s needed, so it stays hot and juicy right to the last roll.
For planners, venues and organisers
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.

Stonehills questions
Do you cater at venues in the New Forest National Park?

Which station is closest to Stonehills?
Hamble station, about 3.3 miles north of the centre.

Do we need our own staff?
You do not need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.

If you are happy to roast and carve, yes. Most people prefer us to cook so they can enjoy the party.
