Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
What the cooking area needs
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Power for lights in the evening
- Clear space away from the marquee and any branches
- Flat ground outside the reception for the roaster
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Blackfield questions
Can you roast near the sea around Blackfield?

Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a photo if you are unsure.

No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.

Check with the venue first: rules vary. We’ll sort the details with them.
