Your questions about a hog roast for your event in North Hayling
Can you roast near the sea around North Hayling?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Can you do a hog roast in Eames Farm?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
What do people get?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
Do you trade at village fêtes?
We do. Send us the details.
Is it pay as you go?
Some events pay for a package, others want a stall. We’ll work it out together.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
What we serve, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce make the roll.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
What affects the price in North Hayling
We do not use a fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:
- The journey to the venue
- Site access
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The serving time and how long we are on site
Distance is part of the price: travel is included in your quote, with any London charges listed. Give us the address for an accurate figure.
What we need to know
To check the date and the space, we’ll need:
- Allergies we should know about
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Your menu choices
- Rules from the venue or landowner
Send us the date, the address or PO11 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat. We will check the date and send a quote. Send us your details through our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Signpost the stall clearly
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Show allergens at the stall
- Balance the food line-up
We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting, timed for the gates opening.
Add coleslaw.
Organising for someone else?
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
What happens on the day
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Late-September events in North Hayling lose the light at about 7:05pm, so plan lighting if you are trading into the evening.

- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
