How it works
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you are ready. In late May, sunset in Hillhead is about 8:55pm, and midsummer ones until about 9:20pm. After dark, the stall needs lighting.

FAQs for Hillhead
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Can you roast near the sea around Hillhead?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll adjust.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we will check.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
Why choose a hog roast in Hillhead?
One hog roast and a couple of other stalls makes a good food line-up. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.

- Tell us if there is a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Plan separately for halal if needed
We follow the organiser’s site rules, including vehicle times and pitch layout.
