Our hog roast hire in SO30
The format is simple and it works for almost any crowd: roast pork in a soft roll, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, and alternatives for anyone who doesn’t eat pork. We serve rotisserie chicken, new potatoes and coleslaw, and typical bookings are for wedding breakfasts and evening food and sports clubs and societies.
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your guests, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some.

- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.

There are 3 towns and 1 villages and hamlets in SO30, so the setting can be anything from Eastleigh, Hedge End and West End to a quiet hamlet: a level outdoor spot, a way in and a plan. 10 of the places we cover in SO30 are within about 6 miles of the sea, where we always think about wind when choosing a cooking spot.
Hedge End: If you are organising a summer fair for a school like Shamblehurst Primary School, a hog roast is a crowd-pleaser. Among the historic houses close to Hedge End are South Stoneham House (3.5 miles north-west) and Medieval Merchant's House (4.6 miles west). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on outside caterers and gas cooking early. Evenings in Hedge End 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.
Before you choose a spot
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot
The menu, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, in a roll, with salad on the side.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
For event organisers in SO30
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
