Party hog roast in Wherwell Wood, slow-roasted on site
Birthdays, christenings and summer parties in Wherwell Wood suit a hog roast: hearty food that feeds everyone at once. Our staff serve and clear. We’re often asked to cater wedding anniversaries and naming ceremonies, with hog roast rolls, a vegan burger or sausage and coleslaw.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
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.
