Why choose a hog roast in South Warnborough?
Catered or DIY? With catering we roast, carve and serve; with hire you do the cooking. Most hosts choose catering for anything bigger than a family party. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why us?
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Crackling for everyone who wants it

Step by step
From setting up to the last roll, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your event. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: in South Warnborough, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, but by late December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- 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.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

Full catering or machine hire?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.

Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Crockery choices
- Distance from us
- Time on site
UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. Every event gets its own quote, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.

South Warnborough: your questions answered
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Andrew: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is South Warnborough close to London?
Roughly 42 miles from the centre of London.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
Do you cover the whole of Hampshire?
Hampshire is part of our area, including South Warnborough. Get in touch for a price.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will talk it through when we quote.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
