About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to doing it all yourself, a catered hog roast gives you the day back. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Why us?
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
See our prices page and the cost guide.
Should I cook it myself?
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.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors for guests if it rains
- Clearance from walls, fences and overhanging branches
- Neighbours warned about the smell
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Upham: your questions answered
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Which station is closest to Upham?
Hedge End station, about 4.4 miles south-west of the centre.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
How do we prepare?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
What do people get?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
What space does the roaster need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will confirm the space with your quote.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
