A hog roast near North Charford
Hog roast hire for your event in North Charford
There is nothing quite like the smell of a hog roast drifting across a garden or field. We cook at your venue in North Charford, low and slow, then carve the pork into rolls with all the trimmings. We’re frequently asked to cater wakes and memorial gatherings and weddings and receptions, serving spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken and salads.
In a small place like North Charford, a hog roast frequently goes in a field, a farmyard or a big garden. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and firm, level ground matters most. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.
Space, access and the venue
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle
- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot
- A level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

North Charford: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like North Charford?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
What meats can we have?
Pork is the classic, and you can add spit-roast lamb or rotisserie chicken. Vegetarian and vegan options are available too.
What space does the roaster need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will check it with you before booking.

All of Hampshire is in our area. Send us the address for a quote.

Name someone to meet us, ideally not the host, so you can enjoy yourself.
China crockery is available on request, at an extra cost.
