The process
We work to your timings. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so keep us posted on the day. In Barton on Sea, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:10pm, so evening food is frequently carved in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 4:05pm.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We confirm the date and the venue and send a price.
- We agree timings with your venue coordinator.
- We roast during the day, then carve at the agreed time.
- We serve, tidy up and slip away.
How to prepare
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees

Prices and what affects them
Each price is built from:
- The date and time of year

- Crockery choices
- Numbers
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.

When you contact us, please mention:
- Your date and serving time
- An estimate of numbers
- Allergies we should know about
- Any venue rules
Not sure how many to cater for? Give us your best estimate and we’ll quote on that, then confirm closer to the date. Send us your details through our quote form.
The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Halal is not offered, so plan separately if needed
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Give final numbers in good time
We’ll be at the venue for most of the day, working quietly in the background.
China crockery can be added for the wedding breakfast, as an extra.

Barton on Sea: your questions answered
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’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can you cater after a service at Parish Church of St Magdalene?
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 generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can we have a hog roast as the main meal?
Of course: carved pork on plates with sides, and our staff serve your guests.

Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Can you cook inside the marquee?
