Hog roast hire in SO41

Hog roast hire across SO41

Hiring a hog roast means a whole hog cooked slowly on site, for hours, under a gazebo outside. Then our chef carves it and the team serves it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and a piece of crackling. We serve halloumi skewers, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken, and typical bookings are for birthdays and anniversaries and village fêtes and school fairs.

Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too.

  1. You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
  2. We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
  3. On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
  4. Our chef carves to order and our staff serve at the agreed time.
  5. We clear the serving area and pack away.

Hog roast catering in SO41: local guide

SO41 covers everything from Lymington, Ashley and Milford on Sea to 20 small villages and hamlets, and a hog roast works in all of them. Town bookings mean planning access; village bookings mean planning lanes and ground. The New Forest National Park is within easy reach of places across SO41, so check venue rules on outside caterers for countryside events. 26 of the places we cover in SO41 are within about 6 miles of the sea, so we frequently plan a sheltered cooking spot.

Lymington: Churches such as Church of St. Thomas the Apostle rarely have room for a roaster, but a hall or home close by normally does. PTAs at schools such as Lymington Junior School frequently look for a hot-food stall for fairs and sports days. Late September evenings in Lymington lose the light at about 7:10pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 4:05pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.

Is a hog roast right for you?

Compared with a barbecue, a hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone, instead of food coming off the grill in batches. See our guide to hog roast or barbecue.

What comes off the roaster

Roast pork

Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.

Stuffing and apple sauce

Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing are the traditional pairing. Note that stuffing generally contains gluten.

For event organisers in SO41

If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.

For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team.

Allergies and dietary needs

We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:

  • If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
  • Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
  • Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
  • Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them

Name someone to meet us, who can show us the cooking spot and pass on any changes.

Common questions in SO41

Can we just hire the roaster?

DIY machine hire is available. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.

Do you cover SO41?

We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will check the date.

Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?

No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.

Do you clear up?

Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.

Do you serve the crackling?

It is: the skin turns to crackling and everyone gets some.

What about guests who don’t eat pork?

The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not provide halal meat.

Is our garden big enough?

Frequently, yes, if there is a level, open spot away from the house and trees, as long as we can get the equipment in. A picture helps us check.
