Hog roast hire for North Baddesley
How our hog roast hire works in North Baddesley
Hog roast hire takes the cooking off your hands. We get there early, put up the cover and roast for hours, then carve and serve at the time you choose. For christmas fairs and weddings, day or evening, we will put together a menu of hog roast rolls, salads and new potatoes for your guests.
In a smaller place like North Baddesley, 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. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

What we serve, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed goes into rolls or onto plates alongside the pork.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.
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 add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
How it works
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can get on with your event. In North Baddesley, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.

Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
The roaster needs looking after for hours, and that’s what we are there for. You can relax and enjoy the day.
Sides turn a roll into a proper meal.
Space, access and the venue
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains

DIY versus a catered hog roast
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.

Prices and what affects them
There is no fixed price list, because every event is different. What matters most:
- Access to the cooking area
- How many people are eating
- Whether you want china
- Travel to North Baddesley
For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What to tell us
To get the best quote, send us:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Roughly how many people
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Your date and serving time
We price every booking individually, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Ask us for a quote for your event: use our quote form.
