About our hog roast hire in Setley
Slow-roasted pork carved to order: that is hog roast hire in Setley. Rolls, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling come as standard, and you can add sides and other meats. Typical bookings include wakes and memorial gatherings and Fêtes, fairs and shows, with new potatoes, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken.
Somewhere as small as Setley, a field, yard or garden is often the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm, level ground matters most. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

Setley questions
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Is Setley too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will talk it through when we quote.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
What meats can we have?
Pork is the classic, and you can add spit-roast lamb or rotisserie chicken. There are vegetarian and vegan options as well.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Will people get crackling?
It is: the skin turns to crackling and everyone gets some.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Step by step
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you are ready. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: in Setley, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 4:00pm.
- You share the when, where and how many.
- We check the space and quote.
- We arrive early, set up under cover and start roasting.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We clear up and go.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment

A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a barbecue, a hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone, instead of food coming off the grill in batches. See our guide to hog roast or barbecue. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
Why book our hog roast in Setley
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- Crackling for everyone who wants it

- Timed around your day

Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Put the menu on the invitation
Expect us to be on site for much of the day, since slow roasting starts early.
