Hog roast hire for your event in Bagmore
It is a simple format that suits most crowds: pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a roll, and alternatives for anyone who doesn’t eat pork. We are often asked to cater birthdays and anniversaries and clubhouse events, with new potatoes, coleslaw and rotisserie chicken.
In a small place like Bagmore, a hog roast frequently goes in a field, a farmyard or a big garden. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and level, firm ground is the key. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours.

Bringing a hog roast to Bagmore
Bagmore is about 5 miles north-west of Alton, in Hampshire. Bagmore is well within our area for events. We bring hog roasts to 683 places in Hampshire. You can also see our page for Reading, about 18 miles away.
Nearby historic houses include Hall Place (3 miles south) and Bentworth Hall (3.5 miles south). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on outside caterers and gas cooking early. Churches such as Church of St. Mary rarely have room for a roaster, but a hall or home close by usually does.
For events in RG25, we just need to know where the roaster can cook and a serving time. Close by, we cover events in Southrope (1 mile east), Burkham (1 mile south-west), Shalden Green (2 miles east), Bradley (3 miles south-west) and Bentworth (3 miles south). Larger places within reach include Basingstoke (5 miles north-west), Winchester (15 miles south-west), Farnborough (14 miles north-east), Fleet (11 miles north-east), Aldershot (13 miles east) and Alton (5 miles south-east).
Nearby you will also find Alton Community Hospital (4.9 miles south-east) and Gliding Heritage Centre (1.6 miles south-east). The countryside around Bagmore includes Farleigh Hill.
Should I cook it myself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
What happens on the day
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Light matters for a long roast: around Bagmore, it stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.

What else we do in Bagmore
Organising for someone else?
For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team.

What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, so it stays hot and juicy.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
A hog roast compared with other options
Catered or DIY? With catering we roast, carve and serve; with hire you do the cooking. Most hosts choose catering for anything bigger than a family party. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
What you get with us
- Carved to order by a chef
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
See our pricing and our hog roast cost guide.
Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
Slow roasting needs attention, and that is what we are there for. You can relax and enjoy the day.
We can supply china instead of standard plates, quoted separately.
Space, access and the venue
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Things to check:
- Cover for your guests in bad weather
- A level patch of lawn, patio or hardstanding
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
