About hog roast hire in GU31
Hog roast hire means a whole pig roasted slowly at your venue, for hours, under a gazebo outside. Then our chef carves it and the team serves it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and a piece of crackling. Popular choices include coleslaw, new potatoes and spit-roast lamb, and we are often booked for Fêtes, fairs and shows and summer garden parties.
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your guests, with crackling for everyone who wants it.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.

A hog roast across GU31: what to know
Across GU31, we cover 3 towns and 12 villages and hamlets, so the setting can be anything from Petersfield, Buriton and Sheet to a quiet hamlet: level ground, access and agreed timings. The South Downs National Park is within easy reach of places across GU31, so check venue rules on outside caterers for countryside events.
Petersfield: Within reach of Petersfield are historic houses such as Uppark (4.1 miles south-east). Historic venues often limit cooking on site, so ask early if you’re booking one. Churches such as St Peter's Church rarely have room for a roaster, but a hall or home close by typically does. Around midsummer it stays light in Petersfield until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is generally in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
How we price a hog roast
Your quote depends on:
- Season and day of the week
- Whether you want china
- How many people are eating
- How easy it is to reach the spot
Travel matters for the price: travel is included in your quote, with any London charges listed. Tell us the exact address so the quote is accurate.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- An estimate of numbers
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- The address or postcode
- The date and time of the event
Every event is quoted on its own, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Tell us about your event for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a plated meal, a hog roast does not need a kitchen, which frequently makes it better value.
Comparing caterers
- What the cooking area needs: space, cover and access
- When they arrive and when the food will be ready
- Whether plates or china are included
- When payments are due and what happens if plans change
Catered or do it yourself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
For planners, venues and organisers
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
We bring the cover, the carving table and the serving kit, so you only need to provide the space.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.
Your questions about a hog roast in GU31
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Do you need power or water?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
What’s included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
How does hog roast hire work?
We handle the roasting, carving and serving. Just give us an outdoor spot to cook.
What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We’ll bring the rest.
