About hog roast hire in PO7
We provide a fully catered hog roast: we roast, our chef carves and our staff serve. For confident cooks, the machine can be hired on its own. Popular choices include halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and coleslaw, and typical bookings are for summer garden parties and wedding breakfasts and evening food.
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- We roast slowly on site, then carve for your guests.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.
What it costs in PO7
The main driver is numbers: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why book with us
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Timed around your day
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork

Hog roast catering in PO7: local guide
From Havant, Horndean and Waterlooville to 10 villages and hamlets, bookings across PO7 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. 3 of the places we cover in PO7 are within about 6 miles of the sea, where we always think about wind when choosing a cooking spot.
Waterlooville: For anyone arriving by rail, the closest railway station is Bedhampton station, roughly 2.6 miles south-east of the centre. Within reach of Waterlooville are historic houses such as Warblington Castle (4 miles south-east). Historic venues frequently limit cooking on site, so ask early if you are booking one. Evenings in Waterlooville stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:10pm; once it’s dark, we need light at the carving station.
How we price a hog roast
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Crockery choices
- How many people are eating
- The date and time of year
Distance is part of the price: we include travel in the quote. Give us the address so the quote is accurate.
Getting an accurate quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Your date and serving time
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Anything the venue has asked for
- An estimate of numbers
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Tell us your date and we’ll check it: fill in our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Find out who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
We will be with you for a good part of the day, because the roast starts hours before you eat.
Sides turn a roll into a proper meal.
Should I cook it myself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Before you choose a spot
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Look for:
- Access for our equipment, without steps
- Cover for your guests in bad weather
- Parking near the spot
A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a buffet, hot roast pork carved in front of you is a different experience. Buffets can sit out for hours.
