Bitterne Park questions
Can you roast near the sea around Bitterne Park?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Could you cook in Riverside Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we will check.
Can you serve a fixed lunch break?
Yes. We time the roast to be ready and serve quickly. Rolls keep service quick.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to street-food vans, carving serves the whole team fast. For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why us?
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too

Planning help
For event organisers in Bitterne Park
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We will fit in with site rules.
Planning for dietary needs
Some staff won’t eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
Name someone in facilities or reception for the day, so we can find you quickly.
