How hog roast hire works in SP6
In SP6, a hog roast is an easy way to feed a lot 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. Popular choices include salads, hog roast rolls and halloumi skewers, and we are frequently booked for gatherings after a funeral and weddings and receptions.
From setting up to the last roll, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your event.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- We arrive well ahead, put the cover up and get the hog roasting.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
What you’ll pay
Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. Every event gets its own quote, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Why book with us
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Our staff serve and clear
- Planned to your running order

Hog roast hire across SP6
From Fordingbridge, Alderholt and Ashford to 28 villages and hamlets, bookings across SP6 range from town gardens to farmyards, and a hog roast works in all of them. In towns, plan access to the garden; in villages, tell us about lanes and ground.
Fordingbridge: Nearby historic houses include Breamore House (2.8 miles north). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on outside caterers and gas cooking early. After a service at St Mary's Church, the hog roast can be ready at a nearby hall or house. Evenings in Fordingbridge stay light until about 9:25pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:10pm; after dark, the serving area and the path to it need good lighting.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
A hog roast compared with other options
Catered or DIY? Catering means we do everything; DIY hire means you roast and carve yourself. Most hosts choose catering for anything bigger than a family party.
What your quote should include
- Any travel or access charges
- How they handle allergens and dietary needs
- How many staff will carve and serve
- VAT, if it applies
Planning for dietary needs
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
You will not need to worry about the food on the day. We arrive hours ahead, set up, roast, carve and serve, then clear up.
Prefer to cook yourself? Ask about DIY machine hire.
Before you choose a spot
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Look for:
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
- Cover for your guests in bad weather
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

Questions from SP6
Do we need our own staff?
You do not need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
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 check it with you before booking.
Is crackling included?
Crackling is part of every roll for anyone who wants it.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We’ll bring the rest.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we’ll check.
