About hog roast hire in Southampton

The format is simple and it works for almost any crowd: pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a roll, and alternatives for anyone who doesn’t eat pork. Popular choices include new potatoes, spit-roast lamb and coleslaw, and we’re frequently booked for parties at home and sports clubs and societies.

We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook.

First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
Our chef carves to order and our staff serve at the agreed time.
We clear the serving area and pack away.

Prices in Southampton

For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

A way to wheel the roaster to the spot
