Hog roast hire for your event in Weavers Down
In Weavers Down, a hog roast is an easy way to feed a lot of people: a single slow roast, carved to order. We bring the roaster, the cover and the serving kit, and our staff serve and clear. On the menu are new potatoes, halloumi skewers and coleslaw, and typical bookings are for club events and presentations and milestone birthdays.
Somewhere as small as Weavers Down, a field, yard or garden is frequently the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm, level ground matters most. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
Full catering or machine hire?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
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.
Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Find out who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
You will not need to worry about the food on the day. We get there early, cook, carve and serve, then clear up.

Weavers Down: your questions answered
Is Weavers Down close to London?
Roughly 43 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Which station is closest to Weavers Down?
Liphook station, about 1.5 miles east of the centre.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Is there a non-pork option?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We do not offer halal meat.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.

Organising for someone else?
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.

The process
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Around midsummer it stays light in Weavers Down until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
- We carve and serve when you are ready to eat.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
How to prepare
