Hog roast hire in Durrington, slow-roasted on site
A hog roast is one of the simplest ways to feed a crowd in Durrington: one roast, slow-cooked for hours, carved in front of everyone. Everything comes with us, and our staff serve and clear. On the menu are salads, halloumi skewers and hog roast rolls, and typical bookings are for Fêtes, fairs and shows and big birthdays and anniversaries.
A place like Durrington frequently has a village hall, a recreation ground or a pub garden nearby; any can work, with the owner’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.

What else we do in Durrington
Durrington: your questions answered
Do you cater at venues in the South Downs 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.
Can you cater after a service at St Symphorian's Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
What’s included?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat
- A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains
- A level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
Popular choices
- Roast or jacket potatoes
- Stuffing
- Rotisserie chicken
- Apple sauce
- Coleslaw
- Hog roast rolls
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Crackling
- New potatoes
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
- Spit-roast lamb
- Salads
How it works
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. Late September evenings in Durrington lose the light at about 7:05pm, and in December it’s nearer 4:00pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the space and quote.
- We arrive early, set up under cover and start roasting.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We clear up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Give us final numbers a week or so before

- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information

- The date and time of year

- Rough numbers
- What the outdoor space is like
- Allergies we should know about
Busy weekends book up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Send us your date for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.
