Catered or do it yourself?

We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
About our hog roast hire in Timsbury
Our hog roast hire is fully catered: roasting, carving and serving are all done for you. For confident cooks, the machine can be hired on its own. Popular choices include crackling, salads and coleslaw, and we’re frequently booked for festive gatherings and summer garden parties.
In a small place like Timsbury, a hog roast often goes in a field, a farmyard or a big garden. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm, level ground matters most. You will know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
For event organisers in Timsbury
If you are a venue or event planner, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.

Your questions about a hog roast in Timsbury
What’s the nearest station to Timsbury?
Mottisfont & Dunbridge station, about 1.8 miles west of the centre.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Andrew?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Is all of Hampshire covered?
We cover Hampshire and the rest of London and the South East. Send us the address and we will quote.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will talk it through when we quote.
Can you cook a hog roast in a small garden?
It depends on the space and access more than size. Tell us about the garden and we’ll advise.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A photo helps.
What a hog roast costs
Each price is built from:
- Crockery choices
- How long the roast and service take
- Distance from us
- Site access
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Details that help
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Your menu choices
- What the outdoor space is like
The quickest way to get a price is to send us your date, venue and numbers. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Fill in our quote form.
A closer look at the menu
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, and it’s carved the same way, frequently with mint sauce.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, roasted until golden.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Compared with a plated meal, a hog roast does not need a kitchen, which frequently makes it better value. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why us?
- Timed around your day
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
