A hog roast across BH24: what to know

There are 3 towns and 21 villages and hamlets in BH24, so the setting can be anything from Ringwood, St Leonards and Poulner to a quiet hamlet: a level outdoor spot, a way in and a plan. Parts of BH24 are within a few miles of the New Forest National Park, where some venues have extra rules about cooking and vehicles.

Ringwood: For a christening or gathering after a service at a church such as Trinity Congregational Church, the roaster can be set up at a hall or home nearby. Thinking of a hog roast in Avon Heath Country Park? Cooking in a park needs the owner’s permission, generally the council’s, and many parks don’t allow it. By late September, sunset in Ringwood is around 7:10pm, and in December it is nearer 4:05pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.

What the cooking area needs

Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:

  • A way to wheel the roaster to the spot
  • Any venue rules sorted in advance
  • A level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

Who books hog roast hire?

You can taste the hours of roasting: the meat is tender and the crackling crisp.

Our roaster has been booked for a wide mix of occasions near BH24, such as:

  • Big birthdays and anniversaries
  • Festive gatherings
  • Fêtes, fairs and shows
  • Summer garden parties

Planning for dietary needs

Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:

  • Add a dietary question to your invitations
  • Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
  • Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
  • Put the menu on the invitation

Name someone to meet us, who can show us the cooking spot and pass on any changes.

Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.

Catered or do it yourself?

A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.

The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.

A hog roast compared with other options

Next to a barbecue, a hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone, so nobody stands at a grill all afternoon. See our guide to hog roast or barbecue.

Your questions about a hog roast in BH24

When do you start roasting?

Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.

How much will it be?

Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we will send a price.

Do you cover the whole of Hampshire?

All of Hampshire is in our area. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.

What comes with the hog roast?

Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.

What if things run late?

Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.

Do you cook it or do we?

Either: fully catered, where we roast, carve and serve, or DIY machine hire. Catering is the most popular choice.

Can we have lamb or chicken?

Add lamb or rotisserie chicken alongside the pork. Vegetarian and vegan options are available too.

  • 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
