Our hog roast hire in Hampshire

Hog roast hire means a whole pig roasted slowly at your venue, over several hours, outdoors under cover. Then our chef carves it and the team serves it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and a piece of crackling. Typical bookings include work summer parties and sports clubs and societies, serving spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken and new potatoes.

People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it.

A hog roast across Hampshire: what to know

Across Hampshire, we cover 23 towns and 538 villages and hamlets, so the setting can be anything from Basingstoke, Winchester and Gosport to a quiet hamlet: a level outdoor spot, a way in and a plan. The New Forest National Park, the South Downs National Park and the Surrey Hills National Landscape are within easy reach of places across Hampshire, so check venue rules on outside caterers for countryside events. Around 143 places in Hampshire are close to the coast, so we often plan a sheltered spot for the roaster.

Basingstoke: If guests are travelling by rail, the closest railway station is Basingstoke station, roughly 0.6 miles east of the centre. If you had Eastrop Park in mind, ask the council or landowner first: we can’t simply set up a roaster in a public park. By late September, sunset in Basingstoke is around 7:10pm, and in December it’s nearer 4:00pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.

What the cooking area needs

It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:

A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
A safe distance from walls, tents and trees
Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet

Compared with a cold buffet, a hog roast is hot, freshly carved and feels like an occasion. Buffets can sit out for hours.

About the food

Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)

Tell us how many vegans to expect, and we will bring enough vegan burgers or sausages.

Salads, potatoes and coleslaw

Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.

Allergies and dietary needs

Some guests will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:

Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
Add a dietary question to your invitations
Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
Find out who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options

We will be with you for a good part of the day, because the roast starts hours before you eat.

Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

Questions from Hampshire

How much will it be?

It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.

How long does the roast need?

It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.

What is hog roast hire?

We roast on site, carve to order and serve, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling.

What should we sort out beforehand?

A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.

Does the roaster have to be outside?

Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.

Will people get crackling?

Crackling is part of every roll for anyone who wants it.

Where does the hog roast go?

Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
