Hog roast for events in New Forest, slow-roasted on site
Charity fundraisers in New Forest can use a hog roast to draw people in. We will talk through options with you. For car shows and rallies and school events, we’ll put together a menu of crackling, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken for your visitors.
A fête near New Forest might be on a field with no mains power; we cook on gas, so we do not need mains power. Our staff serve and clear, so you’re not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a volunteer-run kitchen, a professional hog roast frees up your helpers. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, 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
- Serving and clearing done for you
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Served at the time you choose
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

Questions from New Forest
Do you come out to small places like New Forest?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We do not provide halal meat.
What’s included?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Can you come to our fête?
Yes, fêtes are a natural fit. Tell us the date, pitch and how food will be paid for.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
What will our event need from you?
Send us your trader requirements, and we will confirm what we can provide.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will adjust.
Step by step
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your visitors will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Late-September events in New Forest lose the light at about 7:10pm, so plan lighting if you are trading into the evening.
- Tell us about the event.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- The roast starts before the gates open.
- We carve to order through the day.
- We pack down and take our waste.
Preparing for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Name a contact for the day

Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Full catering or machine hire?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
