About our party hog roast in Sarisbury Green
A big birthday deserves a centrepiece, and a hog roast in the garden fits the bill. The smell sets the mood. Whether it’s engagement parties and neighbourhood parties, we can cook rotisserie chicken, a vegan burger or sausage and jacket potatoes.
In a place like Sarisbury Green, a party at home is usually the easiest option. Tell us about the drive and the garden, and we’ll do the rest. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- Somewhere for us to park nearby
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat
- A step-free way into the garden
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

How we price a hog roast for your party
Things that change the price:
- Numbers
- How long the roast and service take
- Plates or china
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Details that help
These are the details we need:
- Roughly how many people
- The date and time of the event
- The venue or postcode
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
Not sure how many to cater for? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Send us your details through our quote form.
Is a hog roast right for your party?
Next to a party buffet, hot carved pork feels more special, and nothing sits out all afternoon. The main driver is numbers: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.

About the food
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, roasted until golden.
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Full catering or machine hire?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:
- Add a dietary question to the invite
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing typically contains gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
If the party runs late, the roast can wait a little, so tell us if timings change.
Ask about china for a sit-down party, at extra cost.
Sarisbury Green parties: what to know
Sarisbury Green is about 1 mile west of Locks Heath, in Hampshire. We set up the roaster at homes, halls, workplaces and venues in Sarisbury Green. We cover 683 places in Hampshire. Our nearest city page is Southampton, about 6 miles away.
A christening at Church of St Paul followed by a hog roast at home is a simple, popular plan. A green space like Hamble Common is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, generally the council’s. Sarisbury Green is within about 8 miles of the New Forest National Park, so many gardens around here have a great outlook. The coast is within about a mile, so breezy days are common, and we always plan for it.
Here we cover the SO31 postcode area, and we can cater your party anywhere in it. Streets in the area include Brook Lane, Peters Road and Cumber Road, and a party on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster.

Working with your venue
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Common questions in Sarisbury Green
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Paul?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
Do we need a marquee for a party hog roast?
We cover the cooking area, but a gazebo or indoor space for guests is a good backup.
What happens on the day
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. In Sarisbury Green, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so an early-evening carve is usually in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 4:00pm, need lights by the roaster.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Name a contact for the day
