Hog roast hire in Horseport, carved to order
In Horseport, we cater birthdays, weddings, staff days and fêtes. Whatever the occasion, the format is the same: slow roasting at your venue, then carving and serving. Popular choices include halloumi skewers, new potatoes and rotisserie chicken, and typical bookings are for sports clubs and societies and garden parties and barbecues.
Somewhere like Horseport, a yard or firm field frequently works. Mention gates and soft ground when you contact us. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.
How it works
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. In Horseport, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so summer evening service is usually in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 4:05pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- First, tell us 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
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance

Horseport: your questions answered
Is Horseport too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue 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.
What meats can we have?
It’s built around the hog, but lamb and chicken can be added.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not provide halal meat.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We will be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
What’s the price?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
You won’t need to worry about the food on the day. We get there early, cook, carve and serve, then clear up.
We can supply china instead of standard plates, quoted separately.
Full catering or machine hire?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Working with your venue
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Prices and what affects them
Here’s what affects the price:
- Travel to Horseport
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The date and time of year
- Site access
Compare like for like: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
