Questions from Bassett
How far is Bassett from London?
Roughly 69 miles from the centre of London.
Could you cook in Southampton Common?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will talk it through when we quote.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
How do we book for a business?
Get in touch with your details, and we’ll set out the terms with your quote.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
What’s included?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
How much will it be?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.

Before you book anyone
- Which meats, sides and extras are included
- How they handle allergens and dietary needs
- The space, cover and access they need
- If the price includes VAT
Should I cook it myself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
