Hog roast hire in Hursley, carved to order
In Hursley, a hog roast is an easy way to feed plenty of people: a single slow roast, carved to order. We bring the roaster, the cover and the serving kit, and we serve and tidy up afterwards. We serve crackling, coleslaw and halloumi skewers, and we’re often booked for christmas parties and club events and presentations.
Somewhere as small as Hursley, a field, yard or garden is often the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and level, firm ground is the key. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

For event organisers in Hursley
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.
Catered or do it yourself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Where the roaster can go in Hursley
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Access for our equipment, without steps
- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Put the menu on the invitation
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed

How the day works
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 Hursley, it stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late December it is dark by about 4:00pm.
