Book a hog roast in Clanfield
Catered or do it yourself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Hog roast hire for your event in Clanfield
It’s a simple format that suits most crowds: pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a roll, plus lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan choices if you want them. We serve crackling, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken, and we are frequently booked for corporate events and wakes.
In a small place like Clanfield, a hog roast often goes in a field, a farmyard or a big garden. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and level, firm ground is the key. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you’re not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.
How the day works
Expect a calm, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we’ve agreed, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. By late September, sunset in Clanfield is around 7:05pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 4:00pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.

Why choose a hog roast in Clanfield?
Compared with a cold buffet, hot roast pork carved in front of you is a different experience. Buffets can sit out for hours. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Why us?
- All the equipment comes with us
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Sides to make it a full meal

Common questions in Clanfield
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St James: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Can we have lamb or chicken?
Pork is the classic, and you can add spit-roast lamb or rotisserie chicken. Vegetarian and vegan options are available too.
How long does the roast need?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we will check.
Do you travel across Hampshire?
We cater across Hampshire, including Clanfield. Contact us for a price.
