Party hog roast for North Stoneham
How our party hog roast works in North Stoneham
A party hog roast turns a garden party into an occasion. We roast on site in North Stoneham, then carve at the time you choose, so you can enjoy your own party. Whether it is family reunions and wedding anniversaries, we can cook jacket potatoes, crackling and hog roast rolls and more.
Country parties near North Stoneham suit a hog roast: slow-roasted and eaten outside. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
How the day works
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. In North Stoneham, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:25pm, so most summer parties eat in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 4:00pm, need lights by the roaster.

North Stoneham: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast in Lakeside Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Which station is closest to North Stoneham?
Southampton Airport Parkway station, about 0.8 miles south-east of the centre.
Do we need a marquee for a party hog roast?
Not for the cooking, but a gazebo or indoor space for guests is a good backup.
Do you provide china?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Send us the details and we will quote.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We’ll bring the rest.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.
Can you work around our timings?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll adjust.
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Add a dietary question to the invite
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing usually contains gluten
- Request gluten-free rolls
We get there early to start the roast, so the smell is the first thing guests notice.
Bunting or festoon lights near the serving table make a lovely party setting.
How we price a hog roast for your party
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Crockery choices
- Site access
- Season and day of the week
- 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 are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Details that help
For a quick, accurate price, send us:
- Dietary requirements
- Where the event is
- What the outdoor space is like
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
To get a quote, just tell us the date, where the party is and roughly how many. A picture of the cooking area helps. Use our quote form.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a barbecue, no one gets stuck at the grill, and the food is ready for everyone at once. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why book with us
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Carved to order by a chef

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
About the food
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed goes into rolls or onto plates alongside the pork.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A heads-up for next door
- A wet-weather plan for guests
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
