How corporate hog roast works in Southampton
Lunch breaks are often fixed, so we plan the roast to be ready on time. Rolls are the quickest way to serve. We serve halloumi skewers, salads and coleslaw, and typical bookings are for project wrap-ups and retirement do’s.
The roaster is gas-fired, so we do not need mains power to cook.
- You send us the site address, date, numbers and serving window.
- You get a check on the date and the site, and a quote.
- We set up early and get the hog roasting.
- We serve quickly within your break.
- We tidy up and leave the site clean.
Pricing in Southampton

Around Southampton
Around Southampton, we cater at homes and venues near Saint Mary's, St Mary's Independent School and Rockstone Place Park, among other places. Other local landmarks include Bevois Town Primary School (under half a mile west), The Hobbit pub (less than half a mile west) and St Anne's Catholic School (0.6 miles south-west).

Workplaces across Southampton
Whether your team is in Shirley, Regents Park and Townhill Park or at a rural site in Southampton, a hog roast brings lunch to them without anyone leaving. Around 40 places in Southampton are close to the coast, so we frequently plan a sheltered spot for the roaster.
Southampton: Within reach of Southampton are historic houses such as Southampton Tudor House and Garden (1.4 miles south) and Medieval Merchant's House (1.5 miles south). Historic venues suit client days, but check their rules on gas cooking first. By road, Southampton is on or near the A27 and A33, which makes it easy for us to reach. For a staff lunch in Southampton, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 4:00pm, so evening events need a lit cooking area. Summer events have daylight until around 9:25pm.
What a hog roast costs
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every staff event is different. The main factors are:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Season and day of the week
- How many people are eating
- Time on site
Distance is part of the price: travel is included in your quote. Tell us the exact address for an accurate figure.
Details that help
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The address or postcode
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so you can compare caterers fairly. Fill in our quote form.
Planning the cooking spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- Sign-off for outside caterers
- Somewhere to park our vehicle
- Clearance from the building and parked cars
Is a hog roast right for you?
For client events, add china, sides and a second roast to make it more formal.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether VAT is included
- Staffing on the day
- When payments are due and what happens if plans change
- What the cooking area needs: space, cover and access
Catered or do it yourself?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, for the alternatives
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
- Request gluten-free rolls
Afterwards we tidy up, and leave the site clean.
Salads and coleslaw make it a fuller lunch.
