Party hog roast in Langstone, slow-roasted on site
Plan where the roaster will go: a level spot away from the house and trees, under cover. We’ll check it with you. We serve apple sauce, a vegan burger or sausage and hog roast rolls, and we’re frequently booked for engagement celebrations and naming ceremonies.
A country party near Langstone is perfect for a hog roast: slow-roasted and eaten outside. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
What a hog roast costs
Each price is built from:
- How long the roast and service take
- Site access
- Plates or china
- The number of people
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

About the food
Rolls and gluten-free rolls

Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.

Planning a party in Langstone
Langstone is about 2 miles south of Havant, in Hampshire. We cater parties at homes, halls, workplaces and venues in Langstone. Langstone is one of 683 places in Hampshire we cover. We cater events right across the region, from Langstone to Southampton (about 19 miles away).
Nearby historic houses include Warblington Castle (0.8 miles north-east). For most parties, a garden or hall is easier than a historic venue with strict catering rules. A christening at Saint Nicholas' Chapel followed by a hog roast at home is a simple, popular plan. The coast is within about 5 miles, so breezy days are common, and we always plan for it.
Anywhere in PO9 and PO11, we can bring the roaster to you. Your party could be at a house on Mill Lane, Langstone Road and Langstone High Street, as long as there’s somewhere outside to cook. Langstone is on the A3023, which makes the journey straightforward. Neighbouring places where we cater parties include Warblington (1 mile east), Northney (1 mile south-east), Denvilles (1 mile north-east), Stoke (1 mile south) and North Hayling (1 mile south-east). Within a short drive, we also cover Gosport (8 miles west), Fareham (9 miles west), Horndean (5 miles north), Hedge End (15 miles west), Waterlooville (4 miles north-west) and Petersfield (12 miles north).

- Local pubs include The Royal Oak pub (under half a mile east)
Catered or do it yourself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
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.

Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing typically contains gluten
- Think about children’s portions
Ensure the gate or side passage is open when we arrive, so we can wheel the equipment in.
Bunting or festoon lights near the serving table make a lovely party setting.
Planning the cooking spot
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- Space for our vehicle near the drive
- A word with the neighbours
- Access for the roaster through a gate or passage
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
