Party hog roast for Wymering
For planners, venues and organisers
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We’ll fit in with site rules.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.

Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Flat ground in the garden or on the drive
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- A word with the neighbours
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

About the food
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes to make it a proper meal, especially at a sit-down event.
Hosting a hog roast party in Wymering
Wymering is about 3 miles north of Portsmouth, in Portsmouth. We cater parties across Wymering and nearby, from gardens to fields. Wymering is one of 19 places in Portsmouth where we cater. Our bookings stretch from Wymering to Southampton (about 15 miles away).
A green space like Alexandra Park is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, typically the council’s. Nearby historic houses include Warblington Castle (4.8 miles east). Grand settings like these often have strict rules on caterers, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler. Near the coast, within about 5 miles, gardens can catch the wind, so we plan a sheltered spot.
Here we cover the PO6 and PO2 postcode area. From Dean Road, Deal Road and Park Lane or anywhere nearby, we will bring the roaster to you. Wymering sits on or near the A397, so getting the roaster to your party is simple. For parties just outside Wymering, we cover Cosham (1 mile south-east), Paulsgrove (1 mile west), Hilsea (1 mile south), Drayton (1 mile east) and Widley (1 mile north-east). Larger places within reach include Portsmouth (3 miles south), Southsea (4 miles south), Milton (4 miles south), Landport (3 miles south), Baffins (3 miles south) and Portsea (4 miles south-west).
A little further out are World War I Remembrance Centre (1.4 miles south-east) and Tricorn Centre (3.1 miles south). The countryside around Wymering includes Portsdown Hill and Southmoor Nature Reserve.
- Nearby schools include UTC Portsmouth (1 mile south) and Springfield School (1.2 miles east)

Wymering questions
Can you roast near the sea around Wymering?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Peter and St Paul: can you cater?
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 generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is clearing up included?
We tidy the serving area.
Is our garden suitable?
Describe the space and the way in, and we will tell you if it works.
Can we cook it ourselves?
Yes, DIY machine hire is available. We will talk you through it when we quote.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Should I cook it myself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors are:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Travel to Wymering
- Season and day of the week
- Numbers
Compare like for like: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Roughly how many people
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- What the outdoor space is like
- The date and time of the event
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so it’s easy to compare like for like. Fill in our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Let us know roughly how many children
We get there early to start the roast, so it is cooking when guests arrive.
Add chicken for younger or fussier guests.
Step by step
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change. In Wymering, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so an early-evening carve is typically in daylight. After about 4:00pm in December, we need light to carve.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the space and send a price.
- We set up hours ahead.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We tidy up and pack away.
How to prepare
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
How to get a price
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your party for a quote: use our quote form.
