Our hog roast service in Romsey
Romsey is a small market town on the River Test, gathered around its great Norman abbey and a busy little market place. It sits at the southern end of the Test Valley, with the New Forest to the south-west and Southampton just down the road, and the countryside around it is full of farms, estates and villages.
We cater hog roasts, lamb roasts and BBQs in and around Romsey, cooked fresh on site. Our team carves to order, serves the sides and sauces, and clears everything away at the end.
We cater across Romsey as part of our hog roast catering in Hampshire. For the full picture of how we work, see our hog roast catering service page.

BBQ catering in Romsey
For events in Romsey 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 fete days around Romsey often go for a BBQ, with burgers, sausages and veggie options served quickly to a steady queue.

Hog roasts for birthday parties · Private party cateringWhat we cook
Pork hog roast
Nothing is carved in advance and left to sit. The pig goes on hours before service, fills the air with the smell of roasting pork, and is carved fresh for every guest with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce.
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.
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
Most Romsey 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.

Hog roast FAQs for Romsey
Do you cover the villages around Romsey?
Yes — Braishfield, Ampfield, Awbridge, Timsbury, Wellow, Nursling, North Baddesley and the villages up the Test Valley.
What if the field is waterlogged on the day?
We'll talk through a plan B beforehand, such as setting up on a hardstanding or driveway nearby. It's worth thinking about for any riverside site in winter or after a wet spell.

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.
