Areas we cover
Hog roast hire across SO45
In SO45, a hog roast is an easy way to feed plenty of people: 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 serve crackling, coleslaw and halloumi skewers, and we are often booked for wakes and memorial gatherings and corporate events.
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We will agree the spot with you beforehand.
- 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.
- We carve and serve when you’re ready to eat.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
Cost
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups typically cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why book with us
- An itemised quote
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Planned to your running order

Planning a hog roast in SO45
From Hythe, Dibden Purlieu and Blackfield to 13 villages and hamlets, bookings across SO45 range from town gardens to farmyards, and a hog roast suits every kind of setting. Town bookings mean planning access; village bookings mean planning lanes and ground. The New Forest National Park is within easy reach of places across SO45, where some venues have extra rules about cooking and vehicles. Around 18 places in SO45 are close to the coast, so we often plan a sheltered cooking spot.
Hythe: Historic houses near Hythe include Medieval Merchant's House (2.6 miles north) and Southampton Tudor House and Garden (2.6 miles north). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on outside caterers and gas cooking early. For a christening or gathering after a service at a church such as Church of St John, the roaster can be set up at a hall or home nearby. Around midsummer it stays light in Hythe until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so summer evening service is typically in daylight. In December it is dark by about 4:00pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
Space, access and the venue
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Things to check:
- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot
- Parking near the spot
- Cover for your guests in bad weather
Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
If timings shift, tell us: a cooked roast can be held for a while before carving.
Prefer to cook yourself? Ask about DIY machine hire.
Catered or do it yourself?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.

What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, turned until the skin is golden.
Questions from SO45
What space does the roaster need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will confirm the space with your quote.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
What’s included?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
