A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a staff barbecue, everyone gets to join in. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What you get with us
- Carved to order by a chef
- An itemised quote
- Planned to your running order
- A choice of salads and potatoes

Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
Afterwards we tidy up, and leave the site clean.
If it is a themed open day, tell us.
Full catering or machine hire?
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.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Common questions in Hardley
Is Hardley too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you cater at venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
What paperwork do you provide for our site?
Requirements vary: pass on your list and we’ll respond.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we’ll check.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
Do you come to Hardley?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Hardley and the rest of Hampshire included. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
What the cooking area needs
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- A contact on site
- A safe distance from walls and vehicles
- Flat ground in a car park or courtyard
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.

How it works
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. Daytime open days in Hardley are rarely affected by light, though in winter it is dark by about 4:00pm, so late events need lighting.

- We check access and the cooking area, then quote.
- We set up early and get the hog roasting.
- We serve quickly within your break.
- We pack away and leave the site as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
