About our hog roast for events in Brockenhurst
At a fun run or tournament, a hog roast feeds hungry competitors. Whether it is festivals and summer fêtes, we will put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and crackling and more.
Events near Brockenhurst are often volunteer-run, so a self-contained hog roast helps. You’ll know what’s included before you book: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
At large shows, ask us about the expected crowds early. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
Why Brockenhurst hosts choose us
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- Planned to your running order
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours

Questions from Brockenhurst
Can you come to a school fair in Brockenhurst?
Yes, if the school is happy for a hog roast on site. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.

Can you do a school fair?
School fairs suit a hog roast. Ask the school about vehicles on site.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.

We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.

Step by step
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. Your visitors will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Summer events in Brockenhurst have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 4:00pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We roast on the pitch.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We tidy the pitch.
How to prepare
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Think about shelter for your visitors

DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing go with the pork perfectly. Note that stuffing generally contains gluten.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.
