About hog roast hire in SO42
A hog roast is one of the simplest ways to feed a crowd in SO42: one roast, slow-cooked for hours, carved in front of everyone. We bring the roaster, the cover and the serving kit, and we serve and tidy up afterwards. We’re often asked to cater garden parties and barbecues and clubhouse events, serving new potatoes, halloumi skewers and hog roast rolls.
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
- We arrive well ahead, put the cover up and get the hog roasting.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.

Hog roast catering in SO42: local guide
SO42 covers everything from Brockenhurst, East Boldre and Beaulieu to 9 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. Parts of SO42 are within a few miles of the New Forest National Park, where some venues have extra rules about cooking and vehicles. 8 of the places we cover in SO42 are within about 6 miles of the sea, where we always think about wind when choosing a cooking spot.
Brockenhurst: For anyone arriving by rail, Brockenhurst has its own station, Brockenhurst station. School fairs and fundraisers, for a school such as Brockenhurst Church of England Primary School, can book a hog roast stall. In Brockenhurst, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. In December it is dark by about 4:00pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a buffet, a hog roast is hot, freshly carved and feels like an occasion. Buffets can sit out for hours.

About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness are the traditional pairing. Note that stuffing generally contains gluten.
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Find out who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
We’ll be with you for a good part of the day, because the roast starts hours before you eat.
China crockery is available on request, at an extra cost.
Occasions we serve in SO42
Rolls are easy to eat standing up, so it suits informal events, and plates turn it into a proper meal.
