Party hog roast in Hyde
About our party hog roast in Hyde
Hosting a party means juggling everything at once. With a hog roast, the food is sorted: we roast, carve, serve and clear. We serve crackling, rotisserie chicken and coleslaw, and we’re frequently booked for close and cul-de-sac parties and summer parties in the garden.
Parties around Hyde are frequently relaxed garden affairs. It suits that kind of party. You will know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Think about children’s portions
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
Clear the route to the garden before we arrive, so we can wheel the equipment in.
A string of lights by the carving station looks great as it gets dark.
Hyde parties: what to know
Hyde is about 1 mile north of Winchester, in Hampshire. Planning a hog roast for your party in Hyde? We cover the whole area. We cater all 683 towns and villages in Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages. Our bookings stretch from Hyde to Southampton (11 miles away).
After a christening at a church like St Bartholomew's Church, a hog roast in the garden is an easy way to feed family and friends. If you had St. Cross Park in mind, ask the council or landowner first: we cannot simply set up a roaster in a public park.
We bring hog roasts to parties all over the SO23, SO22 and SO20 postcode area. Whether your party is on Elm Road, Swan Lane and City Road or a nearby road, we can set up and roast there. Neighbouring places where we cater parties include Abbotts Barton (1 mile north-east), Winchester (1 mile south), Weeke (1 mile west), Highcliffe (1 mile south-east) and Bar End (1 mile south). Within a short drive, we also cover Eastleigh (7 miles south), Andover (12 miles north-west), Totton (13 miles south-west), Chandler's Ford (7 miles south-west), Hedge End (11 miles south) and Romsey (9 miles south-west).

Hyde: your questions answered
Can you cater after a service at St Bartholomew's Church?
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. Send us the address.
What’s the nearest station to Hyde?
Hyde has its own station: Winchester station.
Will you clear up afterwards?
Plates come as standard and our staff clear the serving area.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But it’s always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
Can you do a hog roast in our back garden?
Most gardens can work, given access for the equipment. Send us a picture.
What about kids?
Yes, and tell us how many children are coming, so we can plan quantities.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will confirm the space with your quote.
Can we cook it ourselves?
If you’re happy to roast and carve, yes. Most people prefer us to cook so they can enjoy the party.
What happens on the day
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. By late September, sunset in Hyde is about 7:10pm; by December it is about 4:00pm. Plan lights for the path and the food.
- Send a picture of where the roaster could go.
- We check the space and quote.
- On the day, we roast slowly under cover.
- Our staff serve rolls and sides.
- We leave the garden tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking

Planning help
Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- A level patio, lawn or driveway
- Space for our vehicle near the drive
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Prices and what affects them
Here’s what affects the price:
- Plates or china
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- How long the roast and service take
- Season and day of the week
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
Details that help
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:
- Roughly how many people
- Your date and serving time
- The venue or postcode
- Which meats and sides you’d like
Numbers not final yet? Give us your best estimate and we’ll quote on that, then confirm closer to the date. Use our quote form.

Organising for someone else?
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
A closer look at the menu
Rotisserie chicken

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with takeaway pizzas, a hog roast is part of the party, not just the food. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
