Hog roast for events in Lymore, carved to order
Shows and festivals last all day, and we serve through the agreed hours, carving as the queue grows. We are often asked to cater country shows and school fairs and sports days, with a vegan burger or sausage, apple sauce and rotisserie chicken.
A fête near Lymore might be on a field with no mains power; the roaster runs on gas, so that is fine. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your visitors.
For planners, venues and organisers
For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
- Tell us what the event asks of traders
- Signpost the stall clearly
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
Tell us about ground conditions, particularly in wet weather.
Tell us about any theme, such as a vintage fête.
Questions from Lymore
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 work to whatever the site needs.
Which station is closest to Lymore?
The closest is Lymington Town station, roughly 2.7 miles away.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Do you do charity events?
Let us know your plans, and we will suggest options.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
What’s the price?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
Catered or do it yourself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Where the roaster can go in Lymore
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:

How we price a hog roast for your event
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Time on site
- Site access
- Plates or china
- Travel to Lymore
For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually 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.
What we need to know
To check availability and the cooking area, we will need:
- Any venue rules
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- A picture of the cooking area
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or SO41 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Fill in our quote form.
How the day works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. The smell generally brings people over long before we carve. In late May, sunset in Lymore is about 8:55pm, and midsummer ones until about 9:25pm. Evening festivals need lighting by the stall after that.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We tidy the pitch.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Give us a contact number for the day
