A hog roast near Bashley
Hog roast hire for your event in Bashley
Hiring a hog roast means a whole hog cooked slowly on site, for hours, under a gazebo outside. When it’s ready, our chef carves it and our staff serve it in soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Popular choices include halloumi skewers, crackling and rotisserie chicken, and we are regularly asked to cater gatherings after a funeral and festive gatherings.
In a rural place like Bashley, roast pork in a field is hard to beat. Let us know about access and ground conditions. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours.
What affects the price in Bashley
There is no fixed price list, because every event is different. What matters most:
- The journey to the venue
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Access to the cooking area
- How long the roast and service take
Travel matters for the price: we include travel in the quote. Give us the address so the quote is accurate.

Full catering or machine hire?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Questions from Bashley
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.

No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

The hog is the centrepiece, with lamb and chicken as extras.

Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will adjust.

Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
We bring the cover, the carving table and the serving kit, so you only need to provide the space.
A second roast, lamb or chicken, gives people a choice, priced in the quote.

Step by step
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. The smell generally brings people over long before we carve. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: in Bashley, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 4:05pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- We arrive well ahead, put the cover up and get the hog roasting.
- We carve and serve when you’re ready to eat.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
