Nursling questions
Which station is closest to Nursling?
Redbridge station, about 1.6 miles south of the centre.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Do we need extra food?
With sides, it is a full wedding breakfast; in the evening, rolls on their own work well.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
What do people get?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Can you cook inside the marquee?
We cook outside, never inside the marquee, and we agree the spot with your venue.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Planners, venues and businesses
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Step by step
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Winter weddings in Nursling are dark by about 4:00pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- We check the venue and the cooking spot and send a price.
- Timings and the cooking spot are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue.
- We clear away once everyone has eaten.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Let us know about tight access

Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Note which guests do not eat pork, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
We will liaise with your venue coordinator, for access and timings.
For a sit-down meal, ask for china, as an extra.
Full catering or machine hire?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: grilled halloumi with vegetables.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Why choose a hog roast in Nursling?
Compared with pizza or other evening vans, carving serves a lot of people fast. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Why us?
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
