Your questions about a hog roast day in Bashley
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Do you cater at venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A photo helps.
Do you come to Bashley?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Bashley and the rest of Hampshire included. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
How do you handle allergies?
You will get allergen details for everything. Stuffing typically contains gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available.
Can you serve at lunch?
Serving time is up to you, whether lunch or later.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Is a hog roast right for your care home event?
Where residents need modified meals, the kitchen prepares their portions while others enjoy the roast. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
What you get with us
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- Carved to order by a chef

Working with your venue
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.

- We start with the date, numbers of residents, staff and visitors, and the time.
- We confirm the spot with your manager and quote.
- We set up under cover and get the roast going.
- The chef carves and our staff serve residents.
