Hog roast hire in Buriton, carved to order
Hiring a hog roast means a whole hog cooked slowly on site, over several hours, outdoors under cover. When it is ready, our chef carves it and our staff serve it in soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. On the menu are hog roast rolls, new potatoes and spit-roast lamb, and we are regularly asked to cater summer garden parties and work summer parties.
In a rural place like Buriton, roast pork in a field is hard to beat. Let us know about access and ground conditions. Timings are planned around your event, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
How the day works
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Planning an evening hog roast in Buriton? Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September; after dark, the serving area and the path to it need good lighting.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
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.
Where the roaster can go in Buriton
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in

Common questions in Buriton
Could you cook in Ditcham Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first.
What’s the nearest station to Buriton?
Petersfield station, about 2.1 miles north of the centre.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Is it just pork?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken alongside the pork. Vegetarian and vegan options are available too.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a cold buffet, hot roast pork carved in front of you is a different experience. Buffets can sit out for hours. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
