Full catering or machine hire?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
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.
Lodsworth questions
How far is Lodsworth from London?
Roughly 43 miles from the centre of London.
Is Lodsworth too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you cater in Lodsworth?
Yes, Lodsworth is in our area. Send us the address and we will check the date.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Space, access and the venue
Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- A firm way on and off the field
- The landowner’s or council’s agreement
- A level pitch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

How we price a hog roast for your event
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Whether you want china
- Distance from us
For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

To check the date and the space, we’ll need:
- The address or postcode
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Rules from the venue or landowner

We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your event: send us your details through our quote form.
How it works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. Your visitors will smell it long before they see it. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Lodsworth are dark by about 4:00pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for 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.
Before we arrive
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
