How our hog roast hire works in Maybush
The smell of roasting pork is half the appeal. We cook at your venue in Maybush, low and slow, then serve it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. We serve crackling, salads and rotisserie chicken, and typical bookings are for summer garden parties and staff days and open days.
A place like Maybush frequently has a village hall, a recreation ground or a pub garden nearby; any can host a hog roast with permission. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Maybush: venues, access and local tips
Maybush is about 3 miles east of Totton, in Southampton. Maybush is well within our area for events. Maybush is one of 40 places in Southampton we cover.
A green space like St James' Park is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, generally the council’s. Nearby historic houses include Southampton Tudor House and Garden (2.9 miles south-east) and Medieval Merchant's House (3 miles south-east). Historic venues often limit cooking on site, so ask early if you are booking one. The New Forest National Park is within about 7 miles of Maybush, and some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles on site. Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers. Maybush is within about 4 miles of the sea, and sea breezes can be strong. We plan a sheltered cooking spot on windy days.
We cater events across SO16 and SO15 and the streets around it. Local streets include Link Road, Palm Road and Vine Road; an event on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in. Neighbouring places where we cater events include Coxford (1 mile north-east), Hillyfields (1 mile north-west), Regents Park (1 mile south-east), Shirley (1 mile south-east) and Millbrook (1 mile south). Larger places within reach include Southampton (3 miles east), Townhill Park (4 miles east), Midanbury (4 miles east), Thornhill (5 miles east), Chartwell Green (4 miles east) and Harefield (5 miles east).
Well-known places in the area include Eling Experience (1.8 miles south-west) and Western Community Hospital (under half a mile south). Within reach you will find Testwood Lakes.
- Nearby schools include Millbrook Community School (under half a mile north-west) and Regents Park Community College (0.7 miles south-east)
- Local pubs include Bridge Tavern (under half a mile north-east)
The menu, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Everything goes into a soft roll, easy to eat standing up. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb roasted on the spit is a lovely alternative to pork, especially for guests who do not eat pork.
FAQs for Maybush
We’re gathering after a service at St Peter's Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can you roast near the sea around Maybush?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
Is hog roast hire catered or DIY?
We offer full catering and DIY machine hire. Your quote will set out what’s included.
Is it just pork?
It’s built around the hog, but lamb and chicken can be added.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Is our garden big enough?
It depends on the space and access more than size. Tell us about the garden and we’ll advise.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- Cover for your guests in bad weather
- Parking near the spot
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.

A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a street-food van, a hog roast feeds a crowd quickly from one roast. The main driver is numbers: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

How the day works
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Late September evenings in Maybush lose the light at about 7:10pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 4:00pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
