How hog roast hire works in PO9
We provide a fully catered hog roast: roasting, carving and serving are all done for you. If you’d rather do it yourself, we also hire out the machine. Typical bookings include weddings and receptions and parties at home, with new potatoes, hog roast rolls and spit-roast lamb.
Expect a calm, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and roast, carve and serve without fuss.
- You share the when, where and how many.
- We look at the cooking area and send a price.
- We arrive early, set up under cover and start roasting.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve.
- We pack away and leave you to it.
What you will pay
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why book with us
- All the equipment comes with us
- Serving and clearing done for you

Planning a hog roast in PO9
From Havant, Leigh Park and Denvilles to 4 villages and hamlets, bookings across PO9 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. 6 of the places we cover in PO9 are within about 6 miles of the sea, where we always think about wind when choosing a cooking spot.
Havant: If you are organising a summer fair for a school like Trosnant Infant School, a hog roast is a crowd-pleaser. For anyone arriving by rail, Havant station, about 0.6 miles south, is the nearest station. Light matters for a long roast: in Havant, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 4:00pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Vegan guests can have a vegan burger or sausage, so nobody misses out.
Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Find out who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We arrive hours ahead, set up, roast, carve and serve, then clear up.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.
What a hog roast costs
Your quote depends on:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Site access
- The number of people
- Distance from us
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
What we need to know
When you contact us, please mention:
- An estimate of numbers
- Where the event is
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Which meats and sides you’d like
Getting a quote is simple: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. You’ll get a clear quote listing what’s included. Fill in our quote form.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a plated meal, a hog roast needs no kitchen and fewer staff, which frequently makes it better value.

PO9 questions
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. You will get allergen details for everything.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Do you cover PO9?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including PO9 and Hampshire. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
Do you serve the crackling?
Yes, the crackling is shared out as we carve.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
