Hog roast hire for your event in Fleet
Booking a hog roast means you don’t have to cook. We get there early, put up the cover and roast for hours, ready to carve when you are. Whether it’s clubhouse events and village fêtes and school fairs, we’ll put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and coleslaw and more.
Most bookings in a town like Fleet are at homes, halls, clubs and workplaces. All of them can work, given level ground with clearance overhead. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Tell us how many vegans to expect, and we will plan the vegan burgers or sausages.

Next to a barbecue, one roast feeds everyone at once, so nobody stands at a grill all afternoon. See our guide to hog roast or barbecue. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.

The process
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: in Fleet, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
- We arrive well ahead, put the cover up and get the hog roasting.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
How to prepare
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Send final numbers in good time

Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
Slow roasting needs attention, which is our job, not yours. You can get on with your event.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.
Bringing a hog roast to Fleet
Fleet is about 13 miles south-east of Reading, in Hampshire. We cover Fleet and its neighbours for events. Fleet is one of 683 towns and villages in Hampshire where we cater. We cater events right across the region, from Fleet to Guildford (12 miles away).
Among the historic houses close to Fleet are Farnham Castle (4.1 miles south). Historic venues frequently limit cooking on site, so ask early if you’re booking one. A green space like Oakley Park is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, normally the council’s.

Whether your event is on Church Road, Durnsford Avenue and Hankins Court or a nearby road, we can set up and roast there.

As one of the bigger places in Hampshire, Fleet has lots of places with room for a hog roast.
Well-known places in the area include Royal Army Dental Corps Historical Museum (3.9 miles east) and Fleet Community Hospital (1 mile north-west). Open spaces near Fleet include Fleet Pond Nature Reserve and Hitches Hill.

How we price a hog roast
Things that change the price:
- The journey to the venue
- Plates or china
- Season and day of the week
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.

- An estimate of numbers
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Dietary requirements
