Hog roast hire for Frogham
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a street-food van, a hog roast feeds a crowd quickly from one roast. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
What you get with us
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Served at the time you choose
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- Crackling for everyone who wants it

About our hog roast hire in Frogham
We roast the hog at your event, not in a kitchen miles away, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp when it’s served. Add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options if you like. Typical bookings include weddings, day or evening and garden parties and barbecues, with halloumi skewers, spit-roast lamb and salads.
In a hamlet or village like Frogham, a farmyard or a neighbour’s field can make a good cooking spot. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
Why choose hog roast hire in Frogham?
You can taste the hours of roasting: the meat is tender and the crackling crisp.
Hosts in Frogham book us for small gatherings and big outdoor days alike. For example:

Within reach of Frogham are historic houses such as Breamore House (4 miles north). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on outside caterers and gas cooking early.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
The roaster needs looking after for hours, and that’s what we are there for. You can get on with your event.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
A closer look at the menu
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Full catering or machine hire?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
How it works
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: in Frogham, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, but by late December it is dark by about 4:05pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
How to prepare
- Send final numbers in good time
- Name a contact for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready

Your questions about a hog roast in Frogham
Do you cater at venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Can you cater after a service at Church of the Holy Ascension?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you are not left with the mess.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.
Is crackling included?
Crackling is part of every roll for anyone who wants it.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.

- Parking near the spot

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
