Hog roast catering in GU34: local guide
From Alton, Four Marks and Medstead to 34 villages and hamlets, bookings across GU34 range from town gardens to farmyards, and a hog roast suits every kind of setting. Town bookings mean planning access; village bookings mean planning lanes and ground.
Alton: PTAs at schools such as Saint Lawrence Church of England Primary School frequently look for a hot-food stall for fairs and sports days. If you are gathering after a service at a church like Church of St Lawrence, a nearby hall or garden suits a hog roast. Light matters for a long roast: in Alton, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 4:00pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
The menu, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll.
Full catering or machine hire?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
What affects the price in GU34
We work out each quote from:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Access to the cooking area
- The journey to the venue
- How long the roast and service take
For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Getting an accurate quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Rough numbers
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- What the outdoor space is like
Every event is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your event for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a cold buffet, hot roast pork carved in front of you is a different experience. Buffets can sit out for hours.
What your quote should include
- Whether VAT is included
- The full menu and the sides
- Allergen information for every dish
- What the cooking area needs: space, cover and access
Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
Slow roasting needs attention, and that is what we are there for. You can relax and enjoy the day.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal.
GU34 questions
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’ll check it with you before booking.
Can you cook a hog roast in a small garden?
It depends on the space and access more than size. Tell us about the garden and we will advise.
Will people get crackling?
Yes, the crackling is shared out as we carve.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. You will get allergen details for everything.
