Book a hog roast in Stoke
Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing generally contains gluten
- Add a dietary question to the invite
Warn the neighbours: roasting takes hours and the smell travels, and they may ask for a roll.
Bunting or festoon lights near the serving table make a lovely party setting.
About our party hog roast in Stoke
Plan where the roaster will go: a level spot away from the house and trees, under cover. We will help you choose. Typical bookings include street parties and engagement celebrations, with crackling, coleslaw and a vegan burger or sausage.
In a small place like Stoke, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll handle the rest. The hog is roasted on site at your party, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.
Is a hog roast right for your party?
Compared with a restaurant booking, you keep the party at home, with room for everyone. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why Stoke hosts choose us
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Served at the time you choose

Catered or do it yourself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
How the day works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. A summer party in Stoke stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Send us your party date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the garden or drive, then send a quote.
- On the day we arrive hours ahead and start the roast under cover.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve when you’re ready.
- Afterwards we tidy up the serving area.
How to prepare
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival

Common questions in Stoke
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Is Stoke too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Do we need a marquee for a party hog roast?
The roaster has its own cover; plan shelter for guests in bad weather.
What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Can we hire the hog roast machine for our party?
Yes, for confident cooks. Catering is the easier option.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
What’s included?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Organising for someone else?
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Stoke parties: what to know
Stoke is about 3 miles south of Havant, in Hampshire. We cater parties across Stoke and nearby. Stoke is one of 683 towns and villages in Hampshire where we cater. You can also see our page for Southampton, about 19 miles away.
Historic houses near Stoke include Warblington Castle (1.8 miles north). Grand settings like these often have strict rules on caterers, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler. Christenings and naming days often start at a local church such as Church of St Peter, with a hog roast at home or in a hall afterwards. Near the coast, within about 3 miles, gardens can catch the wind, so we plan a sheltered spot.
This part of Hampshire takes in PO11. Whether your party is on Havant Road, Rogers Mead and Northwood Lane or a nearby road, we will bring the roaster to you. Stoke sits on or near the A3023, so getting the roaster to your party is simple. Other places close to Stoke we cover include North Hayling (1 mile east), Tye (1 mile east), Northney (1 mile north-east), Langstone (1 mile north) and Warblington (1 mile north). Further out, we also cater in 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).
Nearby you’ll also find Warblington Castle (1.8 miles north) and Havant Museum (2.1 miles north). Green spaces nearby include Hayling Billy.
- Local pubs include The Maypole pub (0.9 miles south)
