How hog roast hire works in PO15
With hog roast hire, the cooking happens at your event, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp when it is served. Add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options if you like. Typical bookings include sports clubs and societies and gatherings after a funeral, with spit-roast lamb, hog roast rolls and salads.
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- We arrive well ahead, put the cover up and get the hog roasting.
- We carve and serve when you’re ready to eat.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Prices in PO15
For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why book with us
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- A clear quote with everything listed
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

Hog roast catering in PO15: local guide
There are 3 towns and 6 villages and hamlets in PO15, so the setting can be anything from Fareham, Locks Heath and Whiteley to a quiet hamlet: level ground, access and agreed timings. Around 11 places in PO15 are close to the coast, where we always think about wind when choosing a cooking spot.
Whiteley: If you are organising a summer fair for a school like Whiteley Primary School, a hog roast is a crowd-pleaser. For anyone arriving by rail, Swanwick station, about 0.8 miles south-west, is the nearest station. By late September, sunset in Whiteley is around 7:10pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 4:00pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a cold buffet, hot roast pork carved in front of you is a different experience. A buffet can sit out all afternoon.

What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.
Catered or do it yourself?
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.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
What affects the price in PO15
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Numbers
- Crockery choices
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The date and time of year
Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. We quote every event individually, with everything listed.
Details that help
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- Your date and serving time
- Where the event is
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Rough numbers
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time. We will confirm availability and send a price. Use our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
Some guests will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
We’ll be with you for a good part of the day, because the roast starts hours before you eat.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.
Common questions in PO15
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We don’t provide halal meat.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
Do you come to PO15?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including PO15 and Hampshire. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
