Our hog roast service in Basingstoke
Basingstoke grew rapidly from the 1960s onwards and is now one of the largest towns in Hampshire, with a long list of big employers in insurance, finance, technology and logistics. Business parks line the ring road and the M3, and the housing estates around them are full of young families. Step outside the town and you're quickly into chalk farmland and the villages of the North Wessex Downs.
Our hog roast Basingstoke service covers all of it. We set up on office lawns, in gardens and in fields, cook everything fresh on site and carve to order. Salads, potatoes, breads and sauces come with us, and so does the team that serves and tidies up.
We cater across Basingstoke as part of our hog roast catering in Hampshire. For the full picture of how we work, see our hog roast catering page.
Where we cater in Basingstoke
Corporate events are a big part of the picture here. Staff summer parties, family fun days and site celebrations at the business parks around Chineham, the ring road and the M3 junctions are regular bookings, and large employers often want a hog roast and BBQ running side by side to keep a big queue moving.
Private parties are spread across Kempshott, Hatch Warren, Brighton Hill, Old Basing and Chineham, and out to villages such as Oakley, Overton, Sherborne St John and Bramley. The rural fringe is where the marquee weddings and larger country parties happen.

BBQ catering in Basingstoke
Not every event suits a whole pig. For Basingstoke gatherings where people want choice — office lunches, club days, parties with lots of children — our BBQ catering is often the better fit: burgers, sausages and chicken cooked to order, with vegetarian and vegan options on their own grill space.
Basingstoke offices often go for a BBQ at lunchtime: burgers, chicken, sausages and plant-based options served fast from a staffed grill.

Events we cater in Basingstoke
Wedding hog roasts
Farm and marquee weddings around Basingstoke, especially in the villages to the west and north, are well suited to a hog roast. We cater the wedding breakfast buffet-style or served to tables, and can hold back pork for evening rolls so later guests eat just as well.
Catering for weddingsCorporate events
With so many large employers in town, we're used to feeding hundreds of staff in a short window. Two serving points, clearly labelled dietary options and a set-up agreed with facilities in advance keep the day running smoothly. Our guide to planning a corporate BBQ has useful pointers.
Corporate cateringBirthday & private parties
Birthdays, christenings and street parties across Basingstoke's estates suit a hog roast well — lots of guests, not much fuss. We'll help you judge numbers and whether to add a BBQ or lamb.
Milestone birthday catering · Hog roasts for private partiesWhat we cook
Pork hog roast
Our pork is slow-roasted whole on site and hand-carved at the counter as guests come up. Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling are the favourite; a plated buffet works well when it's the main meal.
Hog roast menuLamb roast
A whole lamb on the spit gives the same sense of occasion as a hog roast with a lighter, herby feel. Serve it in flatbreads with minted yoghurt, or plated with potatoes and gravy.
Spit-roast lambBBQ options
Burgers, sausages and chicken for the meat-eaters, with halloumi, vegetable skewers and plant-based options cooked separately for everyone else.
BBQ packagesSides & salads
A roast without good sides is just meat in a bun. We make coleslaw and salads fresh, cook fries and sweet potato fries on site, and can add new potatoes, corn on the cob or a Greek-style salad depending on the season and the crowd.
Vegetarian, vegan & dietary options
Every menu includes real vegetarian and vegan mains — halloumi, vegetable skewers, veggie burgers or plant-based sausages — cooked separately when requested and served from a labelled area. Tell us about allergies and other requirements when you enquire and we'll plan around them; our food is prepared where common allergens are handled, so we can't guarantee any dish is allergen-free.

Do you cater in the villages around Basingstoke?
Yes, including Old Basing, Oakley, Overton, Bramley, Sherborne St John, Hook and Whitchurch. Rural sites may need a chat about access and ground conditions.

Definitely. We plan the menu for a mix of adults and children, with BBQ favourites alongside the roast and vegetarian and vegan options cooked and served separately.
