Party hog roast near Totton
Hosting a party means juggling everything at once. With a hog roast, the food is sorted: we cook, carve and serve. Typical bookings include wedding anniversaries and retirement celebrations, serving a vegan burger or sausage, apple sauce and crackling.
In Totton, home and the local hall are popular party venues. A hog roast suits both, given an outdoor spot to cook. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you’re not left handing out rolls.
Prices and what affects them
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Season and day of the week
- Time on site
- The journey to the venue
- Whether you want china
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups typically cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
Details that help
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The venue or postcode
- Rough numbers
- Which meats and sides you’d like

Catered or do it yourself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.

Questions from Totton
What’s the nearest station to Totton?
The closest is Totton station, roughly 1 mile away.
Do you cater at venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Do we need cover?
Not for the cooking, but a gazebo or indoor space for guests is a good backup.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
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 bring everything else.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You will get allergen details for everything.

Before booking anyone
- Exactly what’s included in the price
- Arrival time and how long the roast needs
- How many staff will carve and serve
- Whether travel is included
How the day works
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. A summer party in Totton stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Send a photo of where the roaster could go.
- We check the space and quote.
- We cook for hours on site.
- Our staff serve rolls and sides.
- We clear up so you don’t have to.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages

Working with your venue
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
About the food
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
