- A hall, office or heated marquee for guests
- Parking near the cooking area
- A level spot outdoors with lighting nearby
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

Christmas hog roast in Fareham Common, carved to order
It’s dark before 4pm in December, so we start in daylight and roast into the evening. The cooking area and path need lighting. We serve halloumi skewers, roast turkey and crackling, and we are often booked for christmas markets and december open days.
Around Fareham Common, Christmas parties are often at home, the village hall or a club. The roaster needs a lit spot and firm ground. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve.
For event organisers in Fareham Common
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.
For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.

What a hog roast costs

- Plates or china
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The date and time of year
- Distance from us
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.

Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
