Hog roast hire for Boarhunt
Hog roast hire in Boarhunt, slow-roasted on site
Hog roast hire means a whole pig roasted slowly at your venue, over several hours, outdoors under cover. 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 hog roast rolls, coleslaw and rotisserie chicken, and we’re regularly asked to cater gatherings after a funeral and clubhouse events.
Somewhere like Boarhunt, a yard or firm field frequently works. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.
Full catering or machine hire?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
A closer look at the menu
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, and it’s carved the same way, frequently with mint sauce.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Where the roaster can go in Boarhunt
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Ideally:
- Cover for your guests in bad weather

How we price a hog roast
We do not use a fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- How many people are eating
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The journey to the venue
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
Getting an accurate quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- The address or postcode
- The date and time of the event
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- An estimate of numbers
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Tell us your date and we will check it: fill in our quote form.
Step by step
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell generally brings people over long before we carve. Evenings in Boarhunt stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:10pm; once it is dark, we need light at the carving station.

FAQs for Boarhunt
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Nicholas: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What’s the nearest station to Boarhunt?
The closest is Portchester station, roughly 1.6 miles away.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.

What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a buffet, hot roast pork carved in front of you is a different experience. A buffet can sit out all afternoon. Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
