The process
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Lunchtime bookings in Gosport are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 4:00pm, so evening events need a lit cooking area. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Send us the site, date, numbers and break time.
- We check access and gas rules and quote.
- We set up early and roast through the morning.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve on time.
- We tidy up and leave.
Preparing for the day

About the food
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, balancing the rich, salty pork.

Perfect for your staff event in Gosport
It is quick to serve once carving starts, ideal for a set break.
