Hog roast hire in Burley, carved to order
The format is simple and it works for almost any crowd: roast pork in a soft roll, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, and alternatives for anyone who doesn’t eat pork. Whether it’s clubhouse events and corporate events, we can cook coleslaw, new potatoes and rotisserie chicken and more.
Somewhere as small as Burley, a field, yard or garden is frequently the spot. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and firm, level ground matters most. You’ll know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.

Burley: your questions answered
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St John the Baptist: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
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’ll work to whatever the site needs.
How does hog roast hire work?
You choose the date, the menu and the serving time; we do the rest. All we need is a place to cook outdoors.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
Is hog roast hire catered or DIY?
You can have us cook, or hire the machine. Your quote will set out what’s included.
The menu, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken goes into rolls or onto plates alongside the pork.
Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We get there early, cook, carve and serve, then clear up.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Any venue rules sorted in advance
- Cover for your guests in bad weather
- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Step by step
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: in Burley, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 4:05pm.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
Before we arrive
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains

Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
