How our hog roast for events works in Lymington
Sports clubs, fun runs and tournaments suit a hog roast. On the menu are a vegan burger or sausage, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken, and we are frequently booked for community events and agricultural and country shows.
Community events in Lymington frequently rely on a few good food stalls. A hog roast is one visitors will queue for. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
Your questions about a hog roast for your event in Lymington
Can you come to a school fair in Lymington?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Do we need our own staff?
You do not need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we will talk you through it.
Do you need power or water?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
What’s included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
What paperwork do you provide?
Organisers frequently ask for a risk assessment or gas safety details. Let us know what you need.
Can you help with a fundraiser?
Contact us.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
We clear the pitch and take everything away.
Add rotisserie chicken for visitors who don’t eat pork.
Should I cook it myself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.

Is a hog roast right for your event?
One hog roast and a couple of other stalls gives visitors a good choice. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Why book with us
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Crackling for everyone who wants it

- You tell us the event, the pitch and the expected crowd.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
