Party hog roast in Lee, slow-roasted on site
Throwing a party is hard work. A hog roast takes the food off your list: we roast, carve, serve and clear. For getting-engaged parties and christenings, we can cook jacket potatoes, hog roast rolls and a vegan burger or sausage.
In a small place like Lee, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we will plan the route. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.
What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, turned until the skin is golden.
What happens on the day
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. In Lee, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:25pm, so an early-evening carve is generally in daylight. After about 4:00pm in December, we need light to carve.

Questions from Lee
Is Lee too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Will the smell bother the neighbours?
Let them know in advance.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
What else we do in Lee
Planning a party in Lee
Lee is about 2 miles south of Romsey, in Hampshire. We are happy to travel to Lee for parties. Lee is one of 683 towns and villages in Hampshire where we cater.
If the day starts at Church of St Boniface, the roast can be ready when everyone gets back. Guests arriving by train should know that the closest railway station is Romsey station, roughly 2.4 miles north of the centre. Lee is within about 8 miles of the New Forest National Park, so a garden party here comes with a lovely backdrop. Near the coast, within about 6 miles, gardens can catch the wind, so we plan a sheltered spot.
For parties in SO51, we just need to know where the roaster can cook and a serving time. Your party could be at a house on Lee Lane and Lee Church Lane or the roads around them, wherever there is an outdoor spot for the roaster. Other places close to Lee we cover include Ashfield (1 mile east), Toothill (1 mile east), Upton (1 mile south-east), Nursling (1 mile south-east) and Rownhams (2 miles south-east). We also serve nearby towns such as Winchester (10 miles north-east), Eastleigh (6 miles east), Fareham (15 miles south-east), Totton (3 miles south), Chandler's Ford (5 miles north-east) and Hedge End (9 miles east).
Well-known places in the area include Romsey Community Hospital (2.3 miles north) and King Johns House (2.3 miles north). Green spaces nearby include Testwood Lakes.
- Local facilities include Romsey Extra (1.5 miles north-west)
What a hog roast costs
Each price is built from:
- Numbers
- Distance from us
- The date and time of year
- How long the roast and service take
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Details that help
To check availability and the cooking area, tell us:
- Allergies we should know about
- Where the event is
- The date and time of the event
- Roughly how many people
Not sure how many to cater for? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, and you can confirm nearer the time. Send us your details through our quote form.
Why choose party hog roast in Lee?
Most children happily eat pork in a roll, and chicken or a vegan sausage covers fussier eaters.
People around Lee book us for small gatherings and big outdoor days alike. Popular choices:
- Engagement parties
- Neighbourhood parties
- Christenings and naming days
- Retirement parties
No room at home? A club or hall near Lee with outdoor space often works.
Before booking anyone
- Arrival time and how long the roast needs
- When payments are due and what happens if plans change
- The menu, including sides and any extras
- If the price includes VAT
Full catering or machine hire?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Is a hog roast right for your party?
Next to ordering takeaway, the roast is an event in itself. Compare like for like: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
