Hog roast hire for Dogmersfield
The process
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. In Dogmersfield, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
Getting a price
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Use our quote form.

Common questions in Dogmersfield
Which station is closest to Dogmersfield?
Winchfield station, about 1.7 miles north-west of the centre.
We are gathering after a service at All Saints' Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What meats can we have?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken alongside the pork. There are vegetarian and vegan options as well.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it is always worth asking: use our quote form.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
