Hog roast hire for your event in Petersfield
In Petersfield, we cater birthdays, weddings, staff days and fêtes. The idea is always the same: slow roasting at your venue, then carving and serving. We serve hog roast rolls, rotisserie chicken and new potatoes, and typical bookings are for weddings, day or evening and village fêtes and school fairs.
Gardens in Petersfield vary a lot, and most work with a side gate and some space. If not, a hall or club nearby is a good fallback. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
A closer look at the menu
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.

For event organisers in Petersfield
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Should I cook it myself?
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.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.

Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
The roaster needs looking after for hours, which is our job, not yours. You can relax and enjoy the day.
Add lamb or chicken for a second roast.

Step by step
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: in Petersfield, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, but by late December it is dark by about 4:00pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the space and quote.
- We get the roaster going hours before you eat.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We pack away and leave you to it.
Preparing for the day

- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
