Planning help
Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A serving area close to where guests eat
- A route to wheel equipment to the spot
- A level, open cooking spot outside the marquee or barn
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Some couples have a formal meal and a hog roast in the evening; others have the hog roast as the main event. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Halal isn’t offered, so plan separately if needed
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
Running late? A slow roast can wait a little. Just keep us informed.
For a sit-down meal, ask for china, quoted separately.
The menu, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.
FAQs for Milford on Sea
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 work to whatever the site needs.
Can you roast near the sea around Milford on Sea?
Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.
Can we offer lamb too?
Of course: lamb and pork together give guests a choice.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
How do we prepare?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Can we have a hog roast as the main meal?
Many couples do exactly that, with lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside.
Full catering or machine hire?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
