Hog roast hire across SO23

People book a hog roast in SO23 for everything from birthdays to fêtes. The idea is always the same: slow roasting at your venue, then carving and serving. Popular choices include coleslaw, new potatoes and salads, and typical bookings are for wakes and memorial gatherings and corporate events.

Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away.

We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.

Pricing in SO23

A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

Landmarks near Hyde

In Hyde, that can mean an event near St Bede Church of England Primary School, Peter Symonds College and Leigh House Hospital. Other local landmarks include St Bartholomew's Church (under half a mile south-west), The King Alfred pub (less than half a mile south-east) and St. Cross Park (1.7 miles south). Hyde has its own railway station: Winchester station, handy for guests travelling by train. Nearby you’ll also find Winchester Castle (0.6 miles south-west) and Royal Observer Corps Museum (0.5 miles north). Within reach you’ll find Winnall Moors and Twyford Down.

Hog roast hire across SO23

There are 3 towns and 3 villages and hamlets in SO23, so the setting can be anything from Winchester, Hyde and Weeke to a quiet hamlet: level ground, access and agreed timings.

Hyde: If guests are travelling by rail, Winchester station is in Hyde itself. Thinking of a hog roast in St. Cross Park? Cooking in a park needs the owner’s permission, generally the council’s, and many parks don’t allow it. Evenings in Hyde stay light until about 9:25pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:10pm; after dark, the serving area and the path to it need good lighting.

Organising for someone else?

Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.

Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.

Allergies and dietary needs

Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:

Put the menu on the invitation
Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
Count anyone who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests

Everything for serving comes with us, so you only need to provide the space.

A hog roast or other catering?

Next to a barbecue, one roast feeds everyone at once, instead of food coming off the grill in batches. See our guide to hog roast or barbecue.

Which meats and sides you’d like
The address or postcode
Allergies we should know about
Anything the venue has asked for

If you’re comparing hog roast caterers for SO23, ask each one exactly what’s included. Ours lists it clearly. To get yours, use our quote form.

Should I cook it myself?

DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.

Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
