Party hog roast in Hampshire: what to expect

Party food needs to be easy to eat, so hog roast rolls are ideal. Chicken and vegetarian options keep everyone happy. Popular choices include apple sauce, coleslaw and crackling, and typical bookings are for getting-engaged parties and neighbourhood parties.

We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too.

  1. Tell us about your party: date, address and numbers.
  2. We check the space and send a price.
  3. We set up hours ahead.
  4. We carve and serve at food time.
  5. We clear the serving area and go.

What you’ll pay

For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

What you get with us

  • The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
  • An itemised quote
  • Serving and clearing done for you
  • Fresh carving at the serving station

Hosting a hog roast party in Hampshire

From Basingstoke, Winchester and Gosport to 538 villages and hamlets, parties in Hampshire are typically at home or in a local hall. A hog roast suits every one. The New Forest National Park, the South Downs National Park and the Surrey Hills National Landscape are within easy reach of places across Hampshire, where some venues have extra rules about cooking and vehicles. 143 of the places we cover in Hampshire are within about 6 miles of the sea, so we frequently plan a sheltered spot for the roaster.

Basingstoke: If the day starts at St Michael's Church, the roast can be ready when everyone gets back. For party guests on the train, the closest railway station is Basingstoke station, roughly 0.6 miles east of the centre. In Basingstoke, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:25pm, so an early-evening carve is generally in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 4:00pm, need lights by the roaster.

Should I cook it myself?

Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.

A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet

Next to ordering takeaway, the roast is an event in itself.

What your quote should include

  • Payment terms and cancellation policy
  • VAT, if it applies
  • Exactly what’s included in the price
  • The full menu and the sides

What the cooking area needs

The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:

  • Clearance from walls, fences and overhanging branches
  • A word with the neighbours
  • Flat ground in the garden or on the drive

Planning for dietary needs

Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:

  • Request gluten-free rolls
  • Check the allergen list, as stuffing usually contains gluten
  • Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
  • Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food

On the day, we arrive hours before the party starts, so the smell is the first thing guests notice.

Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

What comes off the roaster

Salads, potatoes and coleslaw

Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.

Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)

For vegans, there is a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so everyone has something hot.

Hampshire questions

Does the roaster have to be outside?

No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.

Do you do DIY hog roast hire?

DIY machine hire is available. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.

What about coeliacs?

Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.

What if things run late?

Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.

How soon do you get booked up?

Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.

How much room do you need?

Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.

What comes with the hog roast?

The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
