About our hog roast hire in Nyewood
The format is simple and it works for almost any crowd: pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a roll, plus lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan choices if you want them. For club events and presentations and work summer parties, we’ll put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, hog roast rolls and spit-roast lamb and more.
Somewhere as small as Nyewood, a field, yard or garden is often the spot. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and firm, level ground matters most. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Compared with a cold buffet, hot roast pork carved in front of you is a different experience. A buffet can sit out all afternoon. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Why book with us
- Served at the time you choose
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- We bring everything to cook and serve

Your questions about a hog roast in Nyewood
Do you come out to small places like Nyewood?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What’s the nearest station to Nyewood?
The closest is Petersfield station, roughly 3.7 miles away.
Will people get crackling?
Of course: slow roasting crisps the skin and we break it up for everyone.
Who serves?
You do not need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Is hog roast hire catered or DIY?
We offer full catering and DIY machine hire. We will explain what’s included in each when we quote.
Can we just hire the roaster?
DIY machine hire is available. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we’ll check.
What affects the price in Nyewood
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- The number of people
- Site access
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Plates or china
Travel matters for the price: travel is included in your quote. Tell us the exact address so the quote is accurate.
What we need to know
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:
- Any venue rules
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- What the outdoor space is like
- Your date and serving time
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time. We will confirm availability and send a price. Send us your details through our quote form.
Working with your venue
If you are a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Before you choose a spot
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- Cover for your guests in bad weather
- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot
- A level patch of lawn, patio or hardstanding
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

What happens on the day

In Nyewood, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is generally in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees

Full catering or machine hire?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s 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.
