Catered or do it yourself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.

Baybridge is one of 683 towns and villages in Hampshire we cover. We cater events right across the region, from Baybridge to Southampton (about 9 miles away).
PTA Christmas fairs, for a school such as Owslebury Primary School, suit a hog roast. For colleagues travelling by train, Shawford station, about 3.5 miles west, is the nearest station.

The process
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. A lunchtime Christmas party in Baybridge is the only one in good daylight, as it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.

- We check the date and the outdoor cooking spot, then send a quote.
- On the day we arrive early and get the roast going.
- The team serves hot rolls at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we pack up and leave the spot tidy.

Working with your venue
If you’re a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Planning the cooking spot
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- Light by the serving table
- Flat ground outside, with lights for after dark
- A hall, office or heated marquee for guests
