About our hog roast hire in Sandleheath
In Sandleheath, a hog roast is an easy way to feed plenty of people: a single slow roast, carved to order. Everything comes with us, and our staff serve and clear. Typical bookings include wakes and weddings, day or evening, serving new potatoes, halloumi skewers and crackling.
Somewhere as small as Sandleheath, a field, yard or garden is often the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and level, firm ground is the key. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
Organising for someone else?
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.
If you are a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
Space, access and the venue
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Before booking, check:
- Any venue rules sorted in advance
- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat
- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

How the day works
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. In Sandleheath, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so summer evening service is generally in daylight. In December it is dark by about 4:05pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- We arrive well ahead, put the cover up and get the hog roasting.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Name a contact for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day

Sandleheath: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Sandleheath?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you cater after a service at Sandleheath Uniting Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Is hog roast hire catered or DIY?
We offer full catering and DIY machine hire. We’ll explain what’s included in each when we quote.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Can you cater in Sandleheath?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Sandleheath and the rest of Hampshire included. Send us the address for a quote.
Do you serve the crackling?
Crackling is part of every roll for anyone who wants it.
