Crew catering near Stonehills
Stonehills is about 4 miles south-east of Hythe, in Hampshire. We bring a hog roast for the crew to shoots anywhere in Stonehills, given a suitable outdoor cooking area. We cater 683 places across Hampshire. We cater events right across the region, from Stonehills to Southampton (7 miles away).
Crew coming by rail can use the station: the closest railway station is Hamble station, roughly 3.3 miles north of the centre. The New Forest National Park is within about 5 miles of Stonehills, and locations in protected landscapes frequently have rules about cooking and vehicles. With the sea within about 3 miles, coastal shoots need a sheltered base, so plan where crew will eat.
For shoots in SO45, we just need to know where the roaster can cook and roughly how many crew. Local streets include Stonehills and Fawley Bypass; a shoot on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in. Nearby, we also cater shoots in Ashlett (1 mile north-east), Fawley (1 mile north-west), Sprat's Down (1 mile south), Calshot (1 mile south-east) and Blackfield (1 mile south-west). We also serve nearby towns such as Gosport (8 miles east), Eastleigh (10 miles north), Fareham (7 miles east), Totton (10 miles north-west), Chandler's Ford (11 miles north) and Hedge End (7 miles north).
Nearby you’ll also find Calshot Castle (1.6 miles east) and Coldeast (4.1 miles north-east). Open spaces near Stonehills include Mercury Marshes.

- Local pubs include Falcon Hotel (within half a mile north-west)
Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
What the cooking area needs
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- Vehicle access to base
- A covered eating area
- A named contact at base
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
Popular choices
- Hog roast rolls
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Vegan option (Ve)
- Rotisserie chicken
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Spit-roast lamb
- Salads
- New potatoes
The process
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your crew will smell it long before they see it. Early starts matter for a hog roast at base, and winter daylight in Stonehills ends around 4:00pm, so we may set up under lights.
- Share the location details.
- We confirm where we set up.
- We cook at base.
- We serve rolls or plates quickly.
- We tidy up and go.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
