Hog roast hire for Wallington
Hog roast hire in Wallington, slow-roasted on site
A hog roast is one of the simplest ways to feed a crowd in Wallington: a single slow roast, carved to order. We bring the roaster, the cover and the serving kit, and we serve and tidy up afterwards. For summer garden parties and sports clubs and societies, we can cook spit-roast lamb, crackling and new potatoes.
A place like Wallington frequently has a village hall, a recreation ground or a pub garden nearby; any can work, with the owner’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.
Step by step
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and get on with roasting and serving. Light matters for a long roast: in Wallington, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, but by late December it is dark by about 4:00pm.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
How to prepare
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance

Common questions in Wallington
Which station is closest to Wallington?
Fareham station, about 1 mile west of the centre.
We’re gathering after a service at Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will fit around changes.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.
What’s included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
What happens when we hire a hog roast?
We handle the roasting, carving and serving. All we need is a place to cook outdoors.
Do you travel across Hampshire?
Hampshire is part of our area. Get in touch for a price.
For event organisers in Wallington
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
You will not need to worry about the food on the day. We get there early, cook, carve and serve, and our staff clear the serving area afterwards.
Add lamb or chicken for a second roast.

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, perfect for eating on the move. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Space, access and the venue
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with food vans, a hog roast feeds a crowd quickly from one roast, with no waiting for individual orders to cook. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why us?
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Timed around your day

- When they arrive and when the food will be ready
- Where the roaster goes and what it needs
- The menu, including sides and any extras
Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
