Our hog roast service in Andover
Andover is the main town of the Test Valley, an old market town that expanded a great deal in the post-war years and still has open farmland running right up to its edges. The A303 passes just south, which puts it on the road to the West Country, and the Army has its headquarters on the edge of town. The chalk streams of the Anton and the Test give the surrounding countryside its character.
Our hog roast service in Andover is built for the mix of town and country here. We'll set up in a back garden in Charlton or a field outside Stockbridge with the same care: the roast cooked on site, carved to order, and served with salads, sides and sauces by our own team.
We cater across Andover as part of our hog roast catering in Hampshire. For the full picture of how we work, see our our hog roast service page.
Where we cater in Andover
Farm parties, marquee weddings and village fetes are a big part of our Andover work, particularly in the villages along the valleys — Abbotts Ann, the Clatfords, Wherwell, Longparish, Weyhill and Stockbridge. In town we see plenty of birthday parties, christenings and community events, plus company events on the industrial and business estates on the town's western side.
Many rural sites here are reached along single-track lanes, and some fields don't have power or water. We'll ask about both and plan the set-up to suit.
- marquees and barns in the Test Valley villages

BBQ catering in Andover
For events in Andover with a mixed crowd or a tight serving window, we often suggest a BBQ, either on its own or running alongside the hog roast. Two serving points shorten the queue and give everyone more to choose from.
Village cricket and football clubs around Andover often go for a BBQ for end-of-season events — quick, generous and easy for all ages.

Events we cater in Andover
Wedding hog roasts
Andover couples often marry in a village church and hold the reception in a marquee on family or farm land. A hog roast wedding breakfast, with lamb or a vegetarian alternative, feeds a big guest list well, and the evening food comes from the same roast.

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.
View our hog roast menuLamb roast
Spit-roasted whole lamb, seasoned with garlic and rosemary and carved to order. It's served with mint sauce, warm flatbreads and fresh salads — ideal when some guests don't eat pork.
A whole lamb roastBBQ options
Burgers, sausages and chicken for the meat-eaters, with halloumi, vegetable skewers and plant-based options cooked separately for everyone else.
BBQ packagesSides & salads
Most Andover events pick two to four sides. Summer menus lean towards coleslaw, leaf salads, tomatoes and potato salad; evening and winter events tend to want fries, sweet potato fries or new potatoes. We bring the breads, rolls and sauces too.
Vegetarian, vegan & dietary options
Every menu includes real vegetarian and vegan mains — halloumi, vegetable skewers, veggie burgers or plant-based sausages — cooked separately when requested and served from a labelled area. Tell us about allergies and other requirements when you enquire and we'll plan around them; our food is prepared where common allergens are handled, so we can't guarantee any dish is allergen-free.

Hog roast FAQs for Andover
Can you cater in a field with no power near Andover?
Yes. Our roasting equipment doesn't need mains power. If you need lighting or other power, we'll talk through a generator, and we'll bring what we need for handwashing and service.
Do you cover Stockbridge and the Test Valley villages?
Yes — Stockbridge, Wherwell, Longparish, the Clatfords, Abbotts Ann, Weyhill, Ludgershall on the Wiltshire side and the villages in between.
What do you need from us on the day?
A reasonably level area for our equipment, a route we can wheel it along, and somewhere to park nearby. We'll ask about access, gates and venue rules when you enquire — our outdoor catering checklist covers the rest.
