Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
How far is North Fareham from London?
Roughly 64 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
Do you cover North Fareham?
We do. Send us the address and we will check the date.
How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
What is hog roast hire?
We bring the roaster, roast the hog on site for hours, then our chef carves it and our staff serve, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling.

It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.

Planners, venues and businesses
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.
Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
The roaster needs looking after for hours, and that is what we are there for. You can relax and enjoy the day.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.

Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Access to the cooking area
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Whether you want china
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Details that help
To check the date and the space, we’ll need:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- The venue or postcode
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- An estimate of numbers
When you’re weighing up caterers, check what each quote actually includes. Ours lists it clearly. To get yours, use our quote form.

When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why North Fareham hosts choose us
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- Carved to order by a chef
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- Crackling for everyone who wants it

Catered or do it yourself?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
