The process
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. In Tiptoe, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:25pm, so most summer parties eat in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 4:05pm, need lights by the roaster.

Party hog roast near Tiptoe
Milestone birthdays call for something special, and a whole hog roasting in the garden is exactly that. The smell sets the mood. For back-garden get-togethers and retirement parties, we can cook jacket potatoes, coleslaw and crackling for your guests.
Country parties near Tiptoe suit a hog roast: slow-roasted and eaten outside. Plan shelter in case it rains. You will know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.
A closer look at the menu
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and it suits fussy eaters.

Questions from Tiptoe
We’re gathering after a service at St Andrew: can you cater?
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. Send us the address.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we will talk you through it.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not provide halal meat.
Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Think about children’s portions
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
At food time, we carve and serve, then clear up the serving area.
Rotisserie chicken is popular at family parties.
Full catering or machine hire?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- Neighbours warned about the smell
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors for guests if it rains
- Clearance from walls, fences and overhanging branches
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

For planners, venues and organisers
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
DIY or catered? DIY hire works for relaxed get-togethers; catering suits bigger parties. 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.
