Hog roast hire in Wherwell Wood, slow-roasted on site
Our hog roast hire is fully catered: we roast, our chef carves and our staff serve. If you’d rather do it yourself, we also hire out the machine. Typical bookings include garden parties and barbecues and corporate events, with hog roast rolls, salads and crackling.
In a small place like Wherwell Wood, a hog roast often goes in a field, a farmyard or a big garden. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and level, firm ground is the key. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

Catered or do it yourself?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.

Your questions about a hog roast in Wherwell Wood
Is Wherwell Wood too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Peter: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you travel across Hampshire?
Hampshire is part of our area. Contact us for a price.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
What meats can we have?
The hog is the centrepiece, but lamb and chicken can be added.
Do you cook it or do we?
Both are available: fully catered, where we roast, carve and serve, or DIY machine hire. Most people choose catering.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We don’t provide halal meat.
Do you need power or water?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a formal plated meal, a hog roast needs no kitchen and fewer staff, which frequently makes it better value. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
What you get with us
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Planned to your running order
- Carved to order by a chef
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
What we serve, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce make the roll, just as they should.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
