A hog roast near Walhampton
Party hog roast in Walhampton, carved to order
Throwing a party is hard work. With a hog roast, the food is sorted: we roast, carve, serve and clear. Typical bookings include back-garden get-togethers and reunions, serving rotisserie chicken, crackling and apple sauce.
In a small place like Walhampton, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will plan the route. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.
Catered or do it yourself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Is a hog roast right for your party?
Next to a party buffet, hot carved pork feels more special, and nothing sits out all afternoon. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups typically cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
Why us?
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Crackling for everyone who wants it

Walhampton questions
Can you cater after a service at United Reform 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 normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you cater at venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We’ll bring the rest.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Do we need a marquee for a party hog roast?
We bring cover for the roaster; guests will want somewhere dry to eat if it rains.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will confirm the space with your quote.
What comes off the roaster
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing usually contains gluten
- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
We set up in the agreed spot, so the party carries on around us.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Where the roaster can go in Walhampton
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- Flat ground in the garden or on the drive
- A heads-up for next door

Working with your venue
