FAQs for Portsea
Is Portsea close to London?
Roughly 65 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you roast near the sea around Portsea?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Is a hog roast good for a children’s party?
Most children like pork in a soft roll, with chicken as an alternative.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will confirm everything in writing.
Will a hog roast fit in our garden?
Often, yes, if there is a level spot away from the house and trees, and a way to wheel the equipment through. A photo helps.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.
Can we cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. Catering is the easier option.
Can we just hire the roaster?
DIY machine hire is available. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Why choose a hog roast in Portsea?
Next to ordering takeaway, the roast is an event in itself. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.

For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Should I cook it myself?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
How it works
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. By late September, sunset in Portsea is about 7:10pm; by December it is about 4:00pm. Plan lights for the path and the food.
