DIY versus a catered hog roast
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Before you choose a spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- Permission for cooking on the site
- Access for our vehicle to the pitch
- Space for people to queue
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

Common questions in Hounsdown
Can you come to a school fair in Hounsdown?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
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 work to whatever the site needs.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.
Can you sell directly to visitors?
Both models are possible. We’ll work it out together.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
When do you start roasting?
