The Hangers questions
Is The Hangers too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is The Hangers close to London?
Roughly 60 miles from the centre of London.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat is not something we offer.
What meats can we have?
It’s built around the hog, with lamb and chicken as extras.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll check it with you before booking.
Do you cover the whole of Hampshire?
All of Hampshire is in our area. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
DIY machine hire is available. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.

Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed goes into rolls or onto plates alongside the pork.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a buffet, a hog roast is hot, freshly carved and feels like an occasion. A buffet can sit out all afternoon. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What you get with us
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- An itemised quote
- Served at the time you choose
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
See our pricing or the cost guide.
For event organisers in The Hangers
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
How it works
Your timings come first. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so keep us posted on the day. Evenings in The Hangers stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:10pm; after dark, the serving area and the path to it need good lighting.

Planning help
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We arrive hours ahead, set up, roast, carve and serve, then clear up.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
