Hog roast hire for South Gorley
Prices and what affects them
There is no fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:
- The journey to the venue
- Which meats and sides you choose
- How many people are eating
- Plates or china
For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

Hog roast hire for your event in South Gorley
Hog roast hire takes the cooking off your hands. We get there early, put up the cover and roast for hours, ready to carve when you are. We’re often asked to cater big birthdays and anniversaries and work summer parties, serving crackling, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers.
In a rural place like South Gorley, roast pork in a field is hard to beat. Tell us about gates, tracks and the ground. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
A hog roast compared with other options
Full catering or machine hire? With catering we roast, carve and serve; with hire you do the cooking. For bigger events, catering is normally the easier choice. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why us?
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Carved to order by a chef

About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.

Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.

South Gorley questions
Is South Gorley too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you cater at venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Can you cook a hog roast in a small garden?
Access and clearance matter more than size. Tell us about the garden and we’ll advise.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
Do you cook it or do we?
We offer full catering and DIY machine hire. Your quote will set out what’s included.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we will talk you through it.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we will check.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Step by step
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we have agreed, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. By late September, sunset in South Gorley is around 7:10pm, and in December it is nearer 4:05pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.
