About our hog roast hire in Hedge End
Our hog roast hire is fully catered: roasting, carving and serving are all done for you. For confident cooks, the machine can be hired on its own. We’re often asked to cater corporate events and parties at home, serving salads, spit-roast lamb and new potatoes.
A town like Hedge End gives you plenty of options: your own garden, a club, a hall or a pub garden. We’ll agree where the roaster goes beforehand. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
Should I cook it myself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a street-food van, a hog roast serves plenty of people from one roast, with no waiting for individual orders to cook. Travel matters for the price: travel is included in your quote, with any London charges listed. Give us the address for an accurate figure.

Your questions about a hog roast in Hedge End
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St John the Evangelist: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
Will people get crackling?
Yes, the crackling is shared out as we carve.
Do you come to Hedge End?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Hedge End and Hampshire. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
What meats can we have?
The hog is the centrepiece, but lamb and chicken can be added.
A closer look at the menu
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: grilled halloumi with vegetables.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
What a hog roast costs
Here’s what affects the price:
- Time on site
- Site access
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The number of people
For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
The roaster needs looking after for hours, which is our job, not yours. You can relax and enjoy the day.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
