Our hog roast service in Petersfield
Petersfield sits inside the South Downs National Park, a market town with a square at its centre, Heath Pond on its eastern edge and the long ridge of the Downs rising to the south. Butser Hill and Queen Elizabeth Country Park are a few minutes down the A3, and the villages around it — Steep, Buriton, Liss, East Meon — are among the prettiest in the county.
Catering here is mostly weddings and parties in beautiful, sometimes tricky, spots. We cook the roast on site, carve to order and serve with a proper spread of sides. A hog roast Petersfield event might be in a garden in town or a field halfway up a hill, and we plan for both.
We cater across Petersfield as part of our hog roast catering in Hampshire. For the full picture of how we work, see our hog roast catering service page.
Where we cater in Petersfield
Rural weddings, milestone birthdays and summer parties on private land make up most of our Petersfield bookings. The Meon Valley to the west and the villages around Liss and Rogate are popular for marquees. Schools, sports clubs and community groups in the town add summer fairs and fundraisers.
Hilly ground, chalky tracks and narrow lanes are common around Petersfield, and some sites within the National Park have their own rules on vehicles, noise or lighting. We'll check the practical details with you and your landowner before the day.
- marquees on farmland in the Meon Valley
- barn weddings on the South Downs
- large gardens in Steep, Liss and Buriton
- school and community events in the town
- village fetes and cricket clubs
BBQ catering in Petersfield
For events in Petersfield 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.
BBQ menus suit Petersfield's summer club events and school fairs, with burgers, sausages and veggie options served quickly from a staffed grill.

Pork hog roast
Our pork is slow-roasted whole on site and hand-carved at the counter as guests come up. Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling are the favourite; a plated buffet works well when it's the main meal.
Sample 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.
Lamb roast cateringBBQ 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
A roast without good sides is just meat in a bun. We make coleslaw and salads fresh, cook fries and sweet potato fries on site, and can add new potatoes, corn on the cob or a Greek-style salad depending on the season and the crowd.
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 Petersfield
Can you cater a wedding on a hillside site near Petersfield?
Yes, with some planning. We'll need to know how close vehicles can get and what the ground is like. On steep or soft sites we may set up on the nearest firm, level spot and serve from there.
Are there special rules for events in the South Downs National Park?
The National Park itself doesn't normally stop private events on private land, but individual landowners and venues often have their own conditions. Check with them, and we'll work within whatever they require.
How much does a hog roast in Petersfield cost?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, staffing, the service style and the venue. We don't publish fixed prices because events vary so much — our hog roast cost guide explains the factors, and a quote is free.
