A hog roast near Farnborough
How our hog roast hire works in Farnborough
Slow-roasted pork carved to order: that is what you get when you book a hog roast in Farnborough. The classic roll comes with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling, and you can add sides and other meats. Whether it is club events and presentations and summer garden parties, we’ll put together a menu of coleslaw, hog roast rolls and spit-roast lamb and more.
In Farnborough, the roaster typically goes in a back garden, a club or hall car park, or the grounds of a hired venue. All of them can work, given level ground with clearance overhead. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before you book.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
A hog roast has one downside: it’s pork. That is why we offer lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
Why Farnborough hosts choose us
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Timed around your day

Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
Let us know if the day runs late: a cooked roast can be held for a while before carving.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

After a service at Church of St Christopher, the hog roast can be ready at a nearby hall or house. If you had Snaky Lane Community Wildlife Area in mind, ask the council or landowner first: we can’t simply set up a roaster in a public park.

Your questions about a hog roast in Farnborough
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Christopher?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can you do a hog roast in Snaky Lane Community Wildlife Area?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
How does hog roast hire work?
We handle the roasting, carving and serving. Just give us an outdoor spot to cook.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your event for a quote.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
What do people get?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Can you cook a hog roast in a small garden?
Frequently, yes, if there’s a level, open spot away from the house and trees, as long as we can get the equipment in. Send us a picture.
How it works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. In Farnborough, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- Our chef carves to order and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
How to get a price
Send us the date, the address or GU14 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat. We will confirm availability and send a price. Use our quote form.
Planning help
Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
