Catered or do it yourself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Fareham: your questions answered
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Can you cater after a service at St John The Evangelist?
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 normally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
Do you cover Fareham?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Fareham and Hampshire. Send us the address for a quote.
Is clearing up included?
Yes, we clear up after service, so there is very little washing up.
How we price a hog roast for your party
Your quote depends on:
- The journey to the venue
- Whether you want china
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Season and day of the week
Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What we need to know
To check availability and the cooking area, tell us:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Rough numbers
- Where the event is
- The date and when you’d like to eat
To get a quote, just send us your date, venue and numbers. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Use our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.

Why choose party hog roast in Fareham?

However big or small the event in Fareham, a hog roast feeds a crowd well. We are often asked to cater:
- Garden parties

Questions to ask before you book
- Allergen information for every dish
- The menu, including sides and any extras
- What the price includes, item by item
- The deposit, balance and cancellation terms
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
Have a word with the neighbours first: roasting takes hours and the smell travels, and they may ask for a roll.
Bunting or festoon lights near the serving table make a lovely party setting.
How the day works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. Sunset in Fareham is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so an early-evening carve is normally in daylight. After about 4:00pm in December, we need light to carve.
- Tell us about your party: date, address and numbers.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a buffet, a hog roast is hot and freshly carved. The main driver is numbers: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why us?
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Served at the time you choose
Read how we price and the cost guide.
About the food
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
