About our hog roast hire in Kempshott
Hog roast hire means a whole pig roasted slowly at your venue, for hours, under a gazebo outside. When it is ready, our chef carves it and our staff serve it in soft rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and a piece of crackling. For corporate events and festive gatherings, we can cook halloumi skewers, salads and crackling for your guests.
In a smaller place like Kempshott, a hog roast in the garden is frequently the simplest option: space to cook, no venue hire and no cooking for you. Let us know how we reach the garden. Our staff serve and clear, so you’re not left handing out rolls.

Kempshott questions
We are gathering after a service at Saint Mark's Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
How far is Kempshott from London?
About 48 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Is hog roast hire catered or DIY?
You can have us cook, or hire the machine. We will explain what’s included in each when we quote.
Is all of Hampshire covered?
We cater across Hampshire, including Kempshott. Ask for a quote.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Full catering or machine hire?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
A hog roast has one downside: it’s pork. That’s why we offer lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option. Distance is part of the price: travel is included in your quote, with any London charges listed. Give us the address so the quote is accurate.
What you get with us
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Timed around your day
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too

For event organisers in Kempshott
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
