Party hog roast in North Hayling, carved to order
A hog roast makes a party at home feel special. We set up in your garden or on the drive, roast slowly for hours and carve when you’re ready, so you’re not stuck in the kitchen. Typical bookings include leaving and retirement do’s and street parties, serving coleslaw, rotisserie chicken and apple sauce.
A country party near North Hayling is perfect for a hog roast: slow-roasted and eaten outside. Plan shelter in case it rains. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

North Hayling questions
Could you cook in Eames Farm?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Can you roast near the sea around North Hayling?
Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We’ll bring the rest.
Do we need to wash up?
Yes, we clear up after service, so there’s very little washing up.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
Is our garden suitable?
Tell us about the garden and the access, and we’ll tell you if it works.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat.
Organising for someone else?
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.

Party venues around North Hayling
North Hayling is about 3 miles south of Havant, in Hampshire. We are happy to travel to North Hayling for parties and the places nearby. North Hayling is one of 683 towns and villages in Hampshire we cover. Our nearest city page is Southampton, about 20 miles away.
Parks such as Eames Farm normally need permission from the council or landowner for any cooking, so check first. Christenings and naming days frequently start at a local church such as Church of St Peter, with a hog roast at home or in a hall afterwards. The coast is within about 4 miles, so breezy days are common, so we plan a sheltered spot.
For parties in PO11, we just need to know where the roaster can cook. From Church Lane, St Peter's Road and St Peter's Avenue or anywhere nearby, we can set up and roast there. For parties just outside North Hayling, we cover Northney (1 mile north), Tye (1 mile south), Stoke (1 mile west), Warblington (1 mile north) and Langstone (1 mile north-west). Larger places within reach include Gosport (8 miles west), Havant (3 miles north), Fareham (10 miles west), Horndean (6 miles north), Waterlooville (5 miles north-west) and Petersfield (13 miles north).
A little further out are Havant War Memorial Hospital (2.4 miles north-west) and Warblington Castle (1.5 miles north). Within reach you’ll find Hayling Billy.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
What happens on the day
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Autumn parties in North Hayling get dark early: about 7:05pm by late September and 4:00pm by December. Plan lights for the path and the food.

What the cooking area needs
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat
- A side gate or passage wide enough to wheel the equipment
- Somewhere for us to park nearby
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Find out who does not eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Add a dietary question to the invite
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
Warn the neighbours: roasting takes hours and the smell travels, and they may ask for a roll.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes to make it a full meal.

- How long the roast and service take

- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Numbers
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
