Slow-roasted pork in Stoke
Hog roast hire for your event in Stoke
Slow-roasted pork carved to order: that is what you get when you book a hog roast in Stoke. The classic roll comes with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, and you can add sides and other meats. Typical bookings include wedding breakfasts and evening food and garden parties and barbecues, serving rotisserie chicken, new potatoes and spit-roast lamb.
In a small place like Stoke, a hog roast often goes in a field, a farmyard or a big garden. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and level, firm ground is the key. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
We bring the cover, the carving table and the serving kit, so all you need is the space.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a plated meal, a hog roast doesn’t need a kitchen, which generally keeps the cost down. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
Why book with us
- Served at the time you choose
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- We bring everything to cook and serve
See our prices page and the cost guide.

Space, access and the venue

- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- A level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

Catered or do it yourself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Planning a hog roast in Stoke
Stoke is about 3 miles south of Havant, in Hampshire. We’re happy to travel to Stoke for events. We cater 683 places in Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages. We cater events right across the region, from Stoke to Southampton (about 19 miles away).
For a fundraiser at a school like The Hayling College, the roaster can cook on a pitch agreed with the school. Among the historic houses close to Stoke are Warblington Castle (1.8 miles north). Estates like these tend to have strict rules for caterers, so check before booking. Stoke is within about 3 miles of the sea, and coastal sites can be windy. We think about wind when choosing the cooking spot and putting up the cover.
This part of Hampshire takes in PO11. Whether your event is on Havant Road, Rogers Mead and Northwood Lane or a nearby road, we can set up and roast there. Stoke is on the A3023, so it’s easy for us to reach with the equipment. We also bring hog roasts to events in North Hayling (1 mile east), Tye (1 mile east), Northney (1 mile north-east), Langstone (1 mile north) and Warblington (1 mile north).
