Hog roast hire across BH25
Hog roast hire takes the cooking off your hands. We get there early, put up the cover and roast for hours, ready to carve when you are. We are frequently asked to cater corporate events and community events, with spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls.
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the space and quote.
- We get the roaster going hours before you eat.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We clear up and go.

A hog roast across BH25: what to know
From New Milton, Barton on Sea and Ashley to 3 villages and hamlets, bookings across BH25 range from town gardens to farmyards, and a hog roast suits every kind of setting. Town bookings mean planning access; village bookings mean planning lanes and ground. 6 of the places we cover in BH25 are within about 6 miles of the sea, so we often plan a sheltered cooking spot.
New Milton: For a fundraiser at a school like The Arnewood School, the roaster can cook on a pitch agreed with the school. If you are gathering after a service at a church like Parish Church of St Magdalene, a nearby hall or garden suits a hog roast. Around midsummer it stays light in New Milton until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 4:05pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
Catered or do it yourself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
For event organisers in BH25
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
What we serve, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb is popular alongside the pork, and handy for anyone who doesn’t eat pork.
Planning the cooking spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan

Your questions about a hog roast in BH25
Can you cook a hog roast in a small garden?
Frequently, yes, if there is a level, open spot away from the house and trees, and a way to wheel the equipment through. Send us a picture.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
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 travel across Hampshire?
All of Hampshire is in our area. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
