For a christening or gathering after a service at a church such as Church of St Mary and All Saints, the roaster can be set up at a hall or home nearby.
For events in SO32, we just need to know where the roaster can cook and roughly how many guests. Streets in the area include High Street, Union Lane and The Park, and an event on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster.

About our hog roast hire in Droxford
Booking a hog roast means you do not have to cook. We get there early, put up the cover and roast for hours, ready to carve when you are. Whether it’s wakes and memorial gatherings and club events and presentations, we can cook hog roast rolls, crackling and rotisserie chicken and more.
In a hamlet or village like Droxford, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. Timings are planned around your event, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, with gluten-free rolls on request.

What else we do in Droxford
Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Put the menu on the invitation
The roaster needs looking after for hours, which is our job, not yours. You can relax and enjoy the day.
A second roast, lamb or chicken, gives people a choice, priced in the quote.
Should I cook it myself?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.

A hog roast compared with other options
A hog roast has one downside: it’s pork. That’s why we offer lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option. Travel matters for the price: we include travel in the quote, with any London charges listed. Tell us the exact address for an accurate figure.
Why us?
- All the equipment comes with us
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
Read our pricing and the cost guide.
Prices and what affects them
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every event is different. What matters most:
- Numbers
- The journey to the venue
- How long the roast and service take
- How easy it is to reach the spot
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Details that help
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The date and time of the event
- The address or postcode
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so you can compare caterers fairly. Use our quote form.
