Hog roast hire for Warborne
About our hog roast hire in Warborne
In Warborne, a hog roast is an easy way to feed plenty of people: one roast, slow-cooked for hours, carved in front of everyone. We bring the roaster, the cover and the serving kit, and we serve and tidy up afterwards. Popular choices include spit-roast lamb, coleslaw and crackling, and we are frequently booked for weddings, day or evening and village fêtes and school fairs.
For a rural spot like Warborne, a hog roast feels right at home. Tell us about gates, tracks and the ground. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish before you book.
How we price a hog roast
Each price is built from:
- Distance from us
- The date and time of year
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The number of people
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Details that help
These are the details we need:
- The address or postcode
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
Busy weekends book up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Send us your date for a quote: fill in our quote form.
Why choose a hog roast in Warborne?
Compared with a barbecue, one roast feeds everyone at once, instead of food coming off the grill in batches. See our guide to hog roast or barbecue. Distance is part of the price: we include travel in the quote. Give us the address for an accurate figure.
Why Warborne hosts choose us
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- We bring everything to cook and serve
See our prices page or the cost guide.
How it works
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. Light matters for a long roast: around Warborne, it stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late December it is dark by about 4:05pm.
- 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.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve.
- We clear up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
Getting a price
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the event is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Fill in our quote form.

Where the roaster can go in Warborne

For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Put the menu on the invitation

Expect us to be on site for much of the day, since slow roasting starts early.

Common questions in Warborne

No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Which station is closest to Warborne?
Lymington Town station, about 1 mile south of the centre.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.

What meats can we have?

Do we need a big space?
Many gardens are big enough, as long as we can get the equipment in. Send us a photo.
