Slow-roasted pork in South Weirs
Hog roast hire in South Weirs, slow-roasted on site
A whole hog, roasted for hours and carved in front of your guests: that is what you get when you book a hog roast in South Weirs. Rolls, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling come as standard, and you can add sides and other meats. Typical bookings include christmas parties and gatherings after a funeral, with rotisserie chicken, spit-roast lamb and crackling.
Somewhere like South Weirs, a yard or firm field often works. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
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.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is 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.
Bringing a hog roast to South Weirs
South Weirs is about 4 miles north-west of Lymington, in Hampshire. We cater events across South Weirs and nearby, from gardens to fields. South Weirs is one of 683 places in Hampshire where we cater. You can also see our page for Southampton, about 11 miles away.
School fairs and fundraisers, for a school such as Brockenhurst Church of England Primary School, can book a hog roast stall. Churches such as Church of St Saviour rarely have room for a roaster, but a hall or home close by normally does. South Weirs is within about a mile of the New Forest National Park. Ask your venue about gas cooking and access. South Weirs is within about 5 miles of the sea, and coastal sites can be windy. We think about wind when choosing the cooking spot and putting up the cover.
Events anywhere in SO42 start with an outdoor spot for the roaster and roughly how many guests. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Brockenhurst (1 mile north-east), Setley (1 mile east), Balmerlawn (2 miles north-east), Emery Down (4 miles north) and Lyndhurst (4 miles north).

Other landmarks nearby include Lymington New Forest Hospital (3.7 miles south-east).
A closer look at the menu
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, carved to order at the serving station, frequently with mint sauce.
Space, access and the venue
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat
- Access for our equipment, without steps
- Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Is a hog roast right for your event?
Compared with a cold buffet, hot roast pork carved in front of you is a different experience. A buffet can sit out all afternoon. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

- Served at the time you choose
- Our staff serve and clear

Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
How it works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and get on with roasting and serving. Light matters for a long roast: in South Weirs, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, but by late December it is dark by about 4:05pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
- Our chef carves to order and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
