Book a hog roast in Bedhampton
The process
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. By late September, sunset in Bedhampton is around 7:05pm, and in December it’s nearer 4:00pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- Our chef carves to order and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Give us final numbers a week or so before

Bedhampton: your questions answered
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Can you cater after a service at St Nicholas Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We will bring the rest.
Where does the hog roast go?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll check it with you before booking.
What’s the price?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
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.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Who serves?
You don’t need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
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. A buffet can sit out all afternoon. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why book our hog roast in Bedhampton
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit

For a fundraiser at a school like Bidbury Junior School, the roaster can cook on a pitch agreed with the school. Historic houses near Bedhampton include Warblington Castle (1.7 miles south-east).

We think about wind when choosing the cooking spot and putting up the cover.
We bring hog roasts to events all over the PO9 postcode area and the streets around it.

Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
- A level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

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 setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Find out who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
We bring the cover, the carving table and the serving kit, so all you need is the space.
A second roast, lamb or chicken, gives people a choice.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
