Hog roast hire in Fareham, slow-roasted on site
Hog roast hire takes the cooking off your hands. We get there early, put up the cover and roast for hours, ready to carve when you are. We serve salads, coleslaw and crackling, and we’re regularly asked to cater summer garden parties and christmas fairs.
In Fareham, gardens come in all sizes, and most can take a roaster if there is side access and clearance. If not, a hall or club nearby is a good fallback. You will know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
Your questions about a hog roast in Fareham
How far is Fareham from London?
Roughly 65 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
We are gathering after a service at St John The Evangelist: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
How does hog roast hire work?
We bring the roaster, roast the hog on site for hours, then our chef carves it and our staff serve, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.
What’s included?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it is always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Find out who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
Expect us to be on site for much of the day, since slow roasting starts early.
Add lamb or chicken for a second roast, priced in the quote.

Should I cook it myself?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Working with your venue
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
