Party hog roast in Fareham Common, carved to order
A party at home needs a little planning for the roaster: a level spot away from the house and trees, under cover. We will check it with you. On the menu are a vegan burger or sausage, apple sauce and coleslaw, and we’re often booked for engagement celebrations and close and cul-de-sac parties.
For a party in Fareham Common, home is frequently the best venue. Let us know how we reach the garden, and we’ll bring everything else. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your guests.
Step by step
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Evening parties in Fareham Common need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September it’s around 7:10pm. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.

About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing are the traditional pairing. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.
Is a hog roast right for your party?
Hire the machine or book catering? DIY hire works for relaxed get-togethers; catering suits bigger or more important parties. Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why us?
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
We set up in the agreed spot, so the party carries on around us.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Space for our vehicle near the drive
- A word with the neighbours
- Flat ground in the garden or on the drive
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

- Crackling
- Coleslaw

Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Site access
- Distance from us
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The number of people
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
