Bar End questions
Is Bar End close to London?

Can you do a hog roast in St. Cross Park?

What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.

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.

Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
The process
Expect a calm, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we’ve agreed, and get on with roasting and serving. For a staff lunch in Bar End, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 4:00pm, so plan lighting for later events. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:25pm.
- Tell us where, when, how many and the serving time.
- We check access and the cooking area, then quote.
- On the day we set up and roast through the morning.
- We serve quickly within your break.
- Afterwards we clear up and go.
Before we arrive
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Name a contact for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or SO23 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Use our quote form.

How we price a hog roast for your team
Here’s what affects the price:
- Whether you want china
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Which meats and sides you choose
For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

For a quick, accurate price, tell us:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- What the outdoor space is like
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Allergies we should know about
Numbers not final yet? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Fill in our quote form.
