Hog roast hire for Inhurst
Common questions in Inhurst
We’re gathering after a service at Saint Mary's Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is Inhurst close to London?
About 48 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
Is all of Hampshire covered?
All of Hampshire is in our area. Send us the address for a quote.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.
Can we have lamb or chicken?
The hog is the centrepiece, with lamb and chicken as extras.
Do you cook it or do we?
Both are available: fully catered, where we roast, carve and serve, or DIY machine hire. Catering is the most popular choice.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Hog roast hire for your event in Inhurst
With hog roast hire, the cooking happens at your event, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp when it is served. Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options can go alongside. We serve crackling, hog roast rolls and spit-roast lamb, and typical bookings are for staff days and open days and wakes.
Somewhere as small as Inhurst, a field, yard or garden is often the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm, level ground matters most. Timings are planned around your event, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.
Catered or do it yourself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
A hog roast or other catering?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering we roast, carve and serve; with hire you do the cooking. For bigger events, catering is typically the easier choice. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.

Working with your venue
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Before you choose a spot
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- Any venue rules sorted in advance
- A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains
- A level patch of lawn, patio or hardstanding
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
