Our hog roast service in Ringwood
Ringwood is a market town on the River Avon at the western edge of the New Forest, right beside the Dorset border. The A31 runs past on its way to Bournemouth, the Wednesday market still fills the town centre, and the forest villages of Burley and Linwood are only a few miles east.
We cater hog roasts, lamb roasts and BBQs in Ringwood and the surrounding villages. Everything is cooked on site and carved to order, with sides and sauces laid out on a staffed counter, and we clear up before we leave.
We cater across Ringwood 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 Ringwood
Private parties in gardens around Ringwood, Poulner and St Leonards make up a lot of our work, alongside farm weddings in the Avon Valley and community events in the town. The Dorset side — Verwood, Ferndown and the edge of Bournemouth — adds more family and club events.
The A31 can be very busy, especially on summer weekends, so we plan arrival times with that in mind. Farm sites along the Avon Valley can be soft after rain.

BBQ catering in Ringwood
For events in Ringwood 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.
BBQs are popular for Ringwood's sports-club and community events — easy for all ages and quick to serve.

Birthday party catering · Private party cateringWhat 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
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
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
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
Dietary needs are planned in from the start, not added at the end. Vegetarian and vegan dishes are cooked on separate equipment on request and clearly labelled, and allergen information is available for everything we serve. For guests with severe allergies, please talk to us before the event.

Hog roast FAQs for Ringwood
Do you cover the Dorset side of Ringwood?
Yes — St Leonards, St Ives, Verwood, Ferndown and the villages towards Bournemouth are all within reach.
Can you cater in Burley and the forest villages near Ringwood?
Yes, at private homes, farms and venues. Fires and barbecues aren't allowed on the open forest itself, so events need to be on private land.
How much does a hog roast in Ringwood 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.
