Hog roast hire in Fawley
What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, so it stays hot and juicy right to the last roll.
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
How our hog roast hire works in Fawley
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. On the menu are new potatoes, spit-roast lamb and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for corporate events and milestone birthdays.
For a rural spot like Fawley, a hog roast feels right at home. Tell us about gates, tracks and the ground. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Planning the cooking spot
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot
- Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

Fawley questions
Do you come out to small places like Fawley?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you cater at venues in the New Forest 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.
Do you come to Fawley?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will confirm availability.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.

The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
How does hog roast hire work?

How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.

Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
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.

Step by step
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: around Fawley, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
Getting ready for the day

Is a hog roast right for your event?
Next to a buffet, hot roast pork carved in front of you is a different experience. Buffets can sit out for hours. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
