A hog roast across SO32: what to know
There are 3 towns and 23 villages and hamlets in SO32, so whether your event is in Winchester, Bishop's Waltham and Boorley Green or a quiet village, the approach is the same: a level outdoor spot, a way in and a plan.
Bishop's Waltham: If you are organising a summer fair for a school like Bishop's Waltham Junior School, a hog roast is a crowd-pleaser. Churches such as Church of St Peter rarely have room for a roaster, but a hall or home close by normally does. By late September, sunset in Bishop's Waltham is around 7:10pm, and in December it’s nearer 4:00pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.
Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information
If timings shift, tell us: a cooked roast can be held for a while before carving.
China crockery is available on request, at an extra cost.
Before you choose a spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- A level patch of lawn, patio or hardstanding
- Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle
- Permission from the venue or landowner
Should I cook it myself?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
A hog roast or other catering?
Catered or DIY? Catering means we do everything; DIY hire means you roast and carve yourself. For bigger events, catering is usually the easier choice.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether plates or china are included
- How they handle allergens and dietary needs
- If the price includes VAT
- Any travel or access charges
How we price a hog roast
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Site access
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Plates or china
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups usually cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What to tell us
When you contact us, please mention:
- Allergies we should know about
- The date and time of the event
- Where the event is
- Any venue rules
Busy weekends book up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Tell us your date and we’ll check it: fill in our quote form.
SO32 questions
What comes with the hog roast?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
What meats can we have?
Pork is the classic, and you can add spit-roast lamb or rotisserie chicken. There are vegetarian and vegan options as well.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Do you travel across Hampshire?
Hampshire is part of our area, including SO32. Get in touch for a price.
Who serves?
You don’t need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
