Slow-roasted pork in Sutton Scotney
Hog roast hire for your event in Sutton Scotney
In Sutton Scotney, a hog roast is an easy way to feed a lot of people: a single slow roast, carved to order. Everything comes with us, and we serve and tidy up afterwards. We are often asked to cater community events and clubhouse events, serving new potatoes, coleslaw and halloumi skewers.
Somewhere as small as Sutton Scotney, a field, yard or garden is frequently the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and level, firm ground is the key. Timings are planned around your event, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Put the menu on the invitation
We’ll agree a contact for the day, who can show us the cooking spot and pass on any changes.
Add lamb or chicken for a second roast, priced in the quote.

Your questions about a hog roast in Sutton Scotney
How far is Sutton Scotney from London?
Roughly 59 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Is Sutton Scotney too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What’s included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Is there a non-pork option?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat.
Is our garden big enough?
Frequently, yes, if there’s a level, open spot away from the house and trees, and a way to wheel the equipment through. A photo helps us check.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Do you cover Sutton Scotney?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Sutton Scotney and the rest of Hampshire included. Send us the address for a quote.
Do you serve the crackling?
It is: the skin turns to crackling and everyone gets some.
What a hog roast costs
There’s no fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:
- Distance from us
- Numbers
- Whether you want china
- Access to the cooking area
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Rough numbers
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- A photo of the cooking area
- Your menu choices
It is easy to get a price: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. You’ll get a clear quote listing what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
The process
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. Light matters for a long roast: in Sutton Scotney, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 4:00pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- You share the when, where and how many.
- We look at the cooking area and send a price.
- We get the roaster going hours before you eat.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We pack away and leave you to it.
How to prepare
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
