A hog roast near Canada
What comes off the roaster
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: crisp, golden and full of flavour.
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, carved to order at the serving station, frequently with mint sauce.
Hog roast hire in Canada, slow-roasted on site
In Canada, a hog roast is an easy way to feed a lot of people: a single slow roast, carved to order. Everything comes with us, and our staff serve and clear. Typical bookings include christmas parties and garden parties and barbecues, serving spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken and crackling.
Somewhere like Canada, a yard or firm field often works. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
How we price a hog roast
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Site access
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Whether you want china
- How long the roast and service take
Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.

These are the details we need:
- An estimate of numbers

- Any dietary needs or allergies
Getting a quote is simple: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We will reply with a clear price and what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.

Common questions in Canada
Do you come out to small places like Canada?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What’s the nearest station to Canada?
Romsey station, about 4.6 miles north-east of the centre.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
What’s the price?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your event for a quote.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Can you cater in Canada?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Canada and the rest of Hampshire included. Tell us the venue and we will quote.

Questions to ask before you book
- The menu, including sides and any extras
- The space, cover and access they need
- What the price includes, item by item
- How they handle allergens and dietary needs
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Find out who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
We’ll be with you for a good part of the day, because the roast starts hours before you eat.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Catered or do it yourself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Step by step
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. Light matters for a long roast: in Canada, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, but by late December it is dark by about 4:00pm.
- You share the when, where and how many.
- We look at the cooking area and send a price.
- We arrive early, set up under cover and start roasting.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We pack away and leave you to it.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages

Planning help
Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Full catering or machine hire? Catering means we do everything; DIY hire means you roast and carve yourself. Most hosts choose catering for anything bigger than a family party. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
