About our party hog roast in Stubbington
A party at home needs a little planning for the roaster: level ground outdoors, clear of the house and fences. We will check it with you. Typical bookings include summer parties in the garden and christenings, serving hog roast rolls, jacket potatoes and apple sauce.
Parties around Stubbington are frequently relaxed garden affairs. A hog roast fits right in. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
Step by step
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. For an evening party in Stubbington, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September it is around 7:10pm. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.

FAQs for Stubbington
Can you cater after a service at Holy Rood Church?
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 usually elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
How far is Stubbington from London?
Roughly 67 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.
Can you work around our timings?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll adjust.
Do you need power or water?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
What space does the roaster need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will check it with you before booking.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.
A closer look at the menu
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we will bring enough vegan burgers or sausages.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Planners, venues and businesses
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.

What a hog roast costs
Here’s what affects the price:
- Crockery choices
- Time on site
- The number of people
- Distance from us
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
What to tell us
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- Allergies we should know about
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Send us the date, the address or PO14 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Send us your details through our quote form.
Full catering or machine hire?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Before you choose a spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- Parking close to the house
- Neighbours warned about the smell
- A side gate or passage wide enough to wheel the equipment
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
