Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a formal plated meal, a hog roast doesn’t need a kitchen, which frequently makes it better value. Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
Why Whitehill hosts choose us
- Served at the time you choose
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- All the equipment comes with us
- Sides to make it a full meal

Hog roast hire in Whitehill, carved to order
It is a simple format that suits most crowds: roast pork in a soft roll, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, and alternatives for anyone who does not eat pork. We serve hog roast rolls, crackling and spit-roast lamb, and typical bookings are for milestone birthdays and Fêtes, fairs and shows.
For a place the size of Whitehill, your own garden is frequently the best venue: plenty of room, no hire fees and nobody stuck in the kitchen. Tell us about access down the drive or side of the house. Timings are planned around your event, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Whitehill: your questions answered
Can you cater after a service at St Mark's Sacred Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Which station is closest to Whitehill?
Liphook station, about 3.7 miles south-east of the centre.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
What is hog roast hire?
We handle the roasting, carving and serving. All we need is a place to cook outdoors.
How long does the roast need?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.

About the food
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, and it’s carved the same way.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness go with the pork perfectly. Note that stuffing normally contains gluten.
Allergies and dietary needs
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Find out who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Put the menu on the invitation
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We get there early, cook, carve and serve, and our staff clear the serving area afterwards.
A second roast, lamb or chicken, gives people a choice.
What a hog roast costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The journey to the venue
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- A photo of the cooking area
- Allergies we should know about
- Your date and serving time
- Roughly how many people
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat. We will confirm availability and send a price. Send us your details through our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.
How it works
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. By late September, sunset in Whitehill is around 7:05pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 4:00pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.
- You share the when, where and how many.
- We look at the cooking area and send a price.
- We arrive early, set up under cover and start roasting.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve.
- We pack away and leave you to it.
