Our hog roast service in Alton
Alton is a traditional market town in East Hampshire, with a long brewing history and the Watercress Line heritage railway steaming out towards Alresford. Chawton, where Jane Austen lived, is just to the south, and Gilbert White's Selborne is a few miles further on. Around it lies rolling farmland that runs down to the South Downs.
We cater hog roasts, lamb roasts and BBQs across Alton and its villages, cooked fresh on site. Our team carves to order and serves the full spread of sides, and we take care of clearing away so you can get on with the party.
We cater across Alton as part of our hog roast catering in Hampshire. For the full picture of how we work, see our hog roast catering page.
Where we cater in Alton
Alton's events lean towards the countryside. Farm weddings, marquee parties and village celebrations in Four Marks, Medstead, Bentley, Holybourne, Chawton and Selborne make up much of our work. In town there are school summer fairs, sports-club days and plenty of family birthdays.
Some villages to the south are on steep, narrow lanes, and parking can be limited at rural halls. Tell us what the route in looks like and we'll bring the right vehicle and kit.
- farm and barn weddings in the surrounding countryside
- marquees on private land towards Selborne and Chawton
- village halls in Four Marks, Medstead and Bentley
- school fairs and sports clubs
- large family gardens
BBQ catering in Alton
Not every event suits a whole pig. For Alton gatherings where people want choice — office lunches, club days, parties with lots of children — our BBQ catering is often the better fit: burgers, sausages and chicken cooked to order, with vegetarian and vegan options on their own grill space.

Hog roasts for birthday parties · Catering for parties at homeWhat we cook
Pork hog roast
The classic. A whole pig roasts slowly for hours until the meat is tender and the skin has turned to crackling, then we carve it to order — into soft rolls with stuffing and apple sauce, or onto plates with salads and potatoes.
Sample hog roast menuLamb roast
A whole lamb on the spit gives the same sense of occasion as a hog roast with a lighter, herby feel. Serve it in flatbreads with minted yoghurt, or plated with potatoes and gravy.
Lamb roast cateringBBQ options
Grill favourites cooked to order: burgers, sausages, chicken thighs, halloumi skewers and vegan sausages, all served with rolls and a full sauce line-up.
BBQ packagesSides & salads
The sides make the meal. Choose from homemade coleslaw, mixed leaf salad, tomato and red onion salad, potato salad and pasta salad, plus fries, sweet potato fries or buttered new potatoes cooked on site. Fresh rolls, breads and a proper sauce table come as standard.
Vegetarian, vegan & dietary options
Most Alton events have guests who don't eat pork, and many have vegetarians, vegans and people with allergies. We cook meat-free dishes separately when asked, label every dish, and can build a pork-free menu around lamb or the BBQ. Our allergen information explains what we can and can't guarantee.
