How our hog roast hire works in Binscombe
People book a hog roast in Binscombe for everything from birthdays to fêtes. Whatever the occasion, the format is the same: slow roasting at your venue, then carving and serving. Whether it’s christmas fairs and staff days and open days, we can cook new potatoes, halloumi skewers and hog roast rolls for your guests.
Somewhere as small as Binscombe, a field, yard or garden is often the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and level, firm ground is the key. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your guests.
The process
Here’s how the day usually runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. Around midsummer it stays light in Binscombe until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is generally in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- You share the when, where and how many.
- We look at the cooking area and send a price.
- We get the roaster going hours before you eat.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We pack away and leave you to it.
Preparing for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

We will agree a contact for the day, who can show us the cooking spot and pass on any changes.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a street-food van, a hog roast serves a lot of people from one roast, with no waiting for individual orders to cook. For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why book with us
- Planned to your running order
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Our staff serve and clear

What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing are the traditional pairing. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Prices and what affects them
There is no fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Crockery choices
- Distance from us
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Which meats and sides you choose
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
What we need to know
To check availability and the cooking area, tell us:
- Allergies we should know about
- Where the event is
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- What the outdoor space is like
For a quote, send us a few details: the date and serving time, the venue or GU7 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Send us your details through our quote form.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
