How our corporate hog roast works in Cosham

Working with your venue
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Should I cook it myself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a plated lunch, a hog roast is relaxed and generally better value. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Why Cosham hosts choose us
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- Carved by our chef in front of your staff
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- Served at the time you choose

Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
Name someone in facilities or reception for the day.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
What we serve, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb on the spit roasts gently for hours, carved to order at the serving station, often with mint sauce.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
The process
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Open days in Cosham generally finish in daylight, though in winter it is dark by about 4:00pm.
- Tell us where, when, how many and the serving time.
- We check site access and send a price.
- We set up early and get the hog roasting.
- The team carves and serves on time.
- We pack away and leave the site as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Think about shelter for your staff
