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. We’re often asked to cater sports clubs and societies and parties at home, serving salads, new potatoes and halloumi skewers.
Around Weston, bookings are often at homes, village halls and playing fields. If access is tight, we will plan around it. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

What a hog roast costs
The biggest factors are:
- Time on site
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The journey to the venue
- Crockery choices
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What we need to know

Before you choose a spot
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Ideally:
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains

For planners, venues and organisers
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep you both updated.
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will tell you what we can send.
What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, a hot, filling option of their own.
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
How the day works
Here’s how the day typically runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: in Weston, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, but by late December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
- You share the when, where and how many.
- We check the space and quote.
- We arrive early, set up under cover and start roasting.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We pack away and leave you to it.
Before we arrive

- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees

Planning a hog roast in Weston
Weston is about 2 miles north-east of Hythe, in Southampton. We cover Weston and its neighbours for events. We cover 40 places in Southampton, from the larger towns to small villages.
If you had Westwood Woodland Park in mind, ask the council or landowner first: we can’t simply set up a roaster in a public park. For a christening or gathering after a service at a church such as Holy Trinity Church, the roaster can be set up at a hall or home nearby. The New Forest National Park is within about 6 miles of Weston. Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers. The coast is within about 2 miles of Weston, and coastal sites can be windy. We plan a sheltered cooking spot on windy days.
This part of Southampton takes in SO19 and SO31. Whether your event is on Swift Road, Scott Road and Weston Lane or anywhere nearby, we will bring the roaster to you. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Woolston (1 mile north-west), Netley (1 mile south-east), Butlocks Heath (1 mile east), Hound (2 miles south-east) and Old Netley (2 miles east). Larger places within reach include Shirley (4 miles north-west), Regents Park (4 miles north-west), Townhill Park (3 miles north), Midanbury (3 miles north), Chartwell Green (3 miles north) and Harefield (3 miles north-east).
A little further out are Gods House Tower - Museum of Archaeology (1.6 miles north-west) and Westquay (2 miles north-west). The countryside around Weston includes Netley Common.
- Nearby schools include Chamberlayne College for the Arts (0.5 miles east) and Woolston School (0.7 miles north)
Catered or do it yourself?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
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.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We arrive hours ahead, set up, roast, carve and serve, and our staff clear the serving area afterwards.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal.
