Hog roast catering in PO11: local guide
From Havant, South Hayling and West Town to 7 villages and hamlets, bookings across PO11 range from town gardens to farmyards, and a hog roast suits every kind of setting. In towns, plan access to the garden; in villages, tell us about lanes and ground. Around 10 places in PO11 are close to the coast, where we always think about wind when choosing a cooking spot.
South Hayling: Churches such as St Mary's Church rarely have room for a roaster, but a hall or home close by typically does. Among the historic houses close to South Hayling are Warblington Castle (3.9 miles north). Historic venues frequently limit cooking on site, so ask early if you are booking one. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: around South Hayling, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 4:00pm.
For event organisers in PO11
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
If timings shift, tell us: we can hold the roast for a while.
A second roast, lamb or chicken, gives people a choice, priced in the quote.
Prices and what affects them
There is no fixed price list, because every event is different. What matters most:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Season and day of the week
- Menu choices and extras
- How long the roast and service take
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What to tell us
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- A photo of the cooking area
- Any dietary needs or allergies
For a quote, send us a few details: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Fill in our quote form.
Full catering or machine hire?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a cold buffet, hot roast pork carved in front of you is a different experience. Buffets can sit out for hours.
What your quote should include
- What the cooking area needs: space, cover and access
- Whether plates or china are included
- Payment terms and cancellation policy
- Any travel or access charges
Your questions about a hog roast in PO11
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we will quote.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Can we choose catered or DIY?
Either: fully catered, where we roast, carve and serve, or DIY machine hire. Most people choose catering.
What happens when we hire a hog roast?
We bring the roaster, roast the hog on site for hours, then our chef carves it and our staff serve, in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
