Hog roast hire across PO8
Slow-roasted pork carved to order: that is hog roast hire in PO8. Rolls, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling come as standard, with sides and extras to choose from. Typical bookings include wakes and wedding breakfasts and evening food, with salads, new potatoes and coleslaw.
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
What you’ll pay
The main driver is numbers: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What you get with us
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Carved to order by a chef
Getting a price
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the event is and roughly how many. A picture of the cooking area helps. Send us your details through our quote form.

Hog roast catering in PO8: local guide
There are 3 towns and 5 villages and hamlets in PO8, so the setting can be anything from Horndean, Waterlooville and Cowplain to a quiet hamlet: a level outdoor spot, a way in and a plan.
Horndean: If you’re gathering after a service at a church like Saint Wilfrid's, a nearby hall or garden suits a hog roast. Among the historic houses close to Horndean are Warblington Castle (4.8 miles south-east). Historic venues often limit cooking on site, so ask early if you are booking one. Evenings in Horndean stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; after dark, the serving area and the path to it need good lighting.
Working with your venue
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.

What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Crockery choices
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The journey to the venue
- How many people are eating
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Your menu choices
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Dietary requirements
For a quote, send us a few details: the date and serving time, the venue or PO8 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Send us your details through our quote form.
What the cooking area needs
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains
- Parking near the spot
- Access for our equipment, without steps
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.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.

Do you serve the crackling?
Of course: the skin turns to crackling and everyone gets some.
