About hog roast hire in SO52
Hog roast hire takes the cooking off your hands. We get there early, put up the cover and roast for hours, ready to carve when you are. On the menu are coleslaw, new potatoes and spit-roast lamb, and typical bookings are for christmas parties and community events.
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
Prices in SO52
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups normally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What you get with us
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit

What a hog roast costs
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- How long the roast and service take
- The number of people
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Season and day of the week
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
Details that help
When you get in touch, it helps to include:
- Your date and serving time
- A picture of the cooking area

The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.
