Hog roast for events in Lee
Hog roast for events near Lee
Festivals and shows run for hours, and a hog roast can serve through the day, carving as the queue grows. We are frequently asked to cater summer fêtes and charity fundraisers, serving hog roast rolls, halloumi skewers and apple sauce.
Rural events near Lee can be a long way from anywhere to eat, so a hog roast goes down well. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.
How the day works
Expect a calm, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we have agreed, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. In December, Lee is dark by about 4:00pm, so plan lights for the stall and the queue.
- Organisers send us the date, site, numbers and how food will be paid for.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Send final numbers in good time

What affects the price in Lee
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:
- Numbers
- Time on site
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Plates or china
Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you are paying for.
Details that help
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- A picture of the cooking area
- Roughly how many people
- Which meats and sides you’d like
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or SO51 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Use our quote form.
Planning the cooking spot
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Things to check:
- A level pitch
- Clearance from other stalls and tents
- Room for a queue that does not block paths
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Your questions about a hog roast for your event in Lee
Can you come to a school fair in Lee?
Yes, if the school is happy for a hog roast on site. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.
What’s the nearest station to Lee?
Romsey station, about 2.4 miles north of the centre.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Do you come to Lee?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Lee and Hampshire. Send us the address for a quote.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. We will explain the details with your quote.

A closer look at the menu
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep everyone in the loop.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Should I cook it myself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
