Questions from Wigley
Do you come out to small places like Wigley?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you cater at venues 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 do DIY hire for parties?
If you are happy to roast and carve, yes. Catering is the easier option.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
What space does the roaster need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
What if things run late?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll adjust.
Do children like hog roasts?
Most children like pork in a soft roll, and chicken or a vegan sausage covers fussy eaters.

Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
Have a word with the neighbours first: roasting takes hours and the smell travels, and they may ask for a roll.
Bunting or festoon lights near the serving table make a lovely party setting.
How it works
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. A summer party in Wigley stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.
- Send a photo of where the roaster could go.
- We check the space and quote.
- On the day, we roast slowly under cover.
- We serve when you’re ready.
- We clear up so you do not have to.
Getting ready for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Give us a contact number for the day

What a hog roast costs
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Distance from us
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Numbers
- Which meats and sides you choose
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
What to tell us
To check availability and the cooking area, we will need:
- Dietary requirements
- What the outdoor space is like
- An estimate of numbers
- The date and time of the event
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the party is and roughly how many. A photo of the cooking area helps. Send us your details through our quote form.
Catered or do it yourself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
