About our hog roast hire in Stedham
In Stedham, we cater birthdays, weddings, staff days and fêtes. The idea is always the same: slow roasting at your venue, then carving and serving. Typical bookings include summer garden parties and christmas fairs, with new potatoes, halloumi skewers and salads.
Somewhere as small as Stedham, a field, yard or garden is frequently the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm, level ground matters most. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

How the day works
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can get on with your event. Around midsummer it stays light in Stedham until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.

Planning help
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. Buffets can sit out for hours. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, with gluten-free rolls on request.
Should I cook it myself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Where the roaster can go in Stedham
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- A safe distance from walls, tents and trees
- Cover for your guests in bad weather
- A level patch of lawn, patio or hardstanding
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
