Slow-roasted pork in Boorley Green
How our hog roast hire works in Boorley Green
In Boorley Green, we cater birthdays, weddings, staff days and fêtes. Whatever the occasion, the format is the same: a slow roast on site, carved fresh and served by our team. We’re frequently asked to cater Fêtes, fairs and shows and big birthdays and anniversaries, serving crackling, salads and spit-roast lamb.
There may be a hall or playing field near Boorley Green if the garden is small; any can host a hog roast with permission. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.

Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Put the menu on the invitation
You will not need to worry about the food on the day. We arrive hours ahead, set up, roast, carve and serve, and our staff clear the serving area afterwards.

- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.

Questions from Boorley Green
Which station is closest to Boorley Green?
Hedge End station, about 0.7 miles west of the centre.
Can you cater after a service at St Luke's Church?
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. Send us the address.
Do you serve the crackling?
Of course: slow roasting crisps the skin and we break it up for everyone.
Can we choose catered or DIY?
You can have us cook, or hire the machine. We will explain what’s included in each when we quote.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Is our garden big enough?
It depends on the space and access more than size. Tell us about the garden and we will advise.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
For event organisers in Boorley Green
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
