Our party hog roast in Portsmouth
In Portsmouth, a hog roast is a favourite for birthdays and garden parties: hearty food that feeds everyone at once. Our staff serve and clear. Typical bookings include ruby, golden and diamond anniversaries and christenings and naming days, serving hog roast rolls, jacket potatoes and a vegan burger or sausage.
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat.

Party venues across Portsmouth
Parties across Portsmouth are mostly at home, in halls and at clubs, from Southsea, Milton and Landport to small villages. A hog roast works at all of them. 19 of the places we cover in Portsmouth are within about 6 miles of the sea, so we frequently plan a sheltered spot for the roaster.

Why a hog roast works
Most children happily eat pork in a roll, and chicken or a vegan sausage covers fussier eaters.
We are booked for all kinds of occasions in Portsmouth and nearby. Popular bookings include:
- Reunions
- Street parties
- Engagement celebrations
- Back-garden get-togethers
Catered or do it yourself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Working with your venue
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Space, access and the venue
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- A spot well away from the house
- Parking close to the house
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
Prices and what affects them
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Site access
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Plates or china
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
Getting an accurate quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The venue or postcode
- Your menu choices
- Allergies we should know about
It’s easy to get a price: date, place, numbers and serving time. You will get a clear quote listing what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.

No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so tell us your best estimate. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
