About our hog roast hire in Weston
In Weston, we cater birthdays, weddings, staff days and fêtes. The idea is always the same: slow roasting at your venue, then carving and serving. On the menu are hog roast rolls, spit-roast lamb and crackling, and typical bookings are for birthdays and anniversaries and summer garden parties.
Somewhere as small as Weston, a field, yard or garden is often the spot. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and level, firm ground is the key. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Next to a street-food van, a hog roast serves a lot of people from one roast. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What you get with us
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- An itemised quote
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Choices for people who do not eat pork

Weston: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Weston?
Petersfield station, about 1.4 miles north-east of the centre.
Is Weston too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you travel across Hampshire?
Hampshire is part of our area. Get in touch for a price.
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.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
What if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Will there be enough to go round?
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?
Often, yes, if there is a level, open spot away from the house and trees, and a way to wheel the equipment through. Send us a photo.
How we price a hog roast
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Menu choices and extras
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The journey to the venue
- Crockery choices
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
Details that help
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- The address or postcode
- Roughly how many people
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
Busy weekends book up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Tell us your date and we’ll check it: fill in our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We’ll fit in with site rules.
Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

A closer look at the menu
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children generally like it too.
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
