Corporate hog roast in Haslar, carved to order
Most teams have a set break, so we plan the roast to be ready on time and serve quickly. Rolls are the quickest way to serve. We are frequently asked to cater project wrap-ups and family fun days, with coleslaw, rotisserie chicken and crackling.
Rural businesses around Haslar can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, which makes a hog roast a real treat. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
Catered or do it yourself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
A closer look at the menu
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb is popular alongside the pork, and handy for anyone who does not eat pork.
Space, access and the venue
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- Sign-off for outside caterers
- A level spot in the car park, yard or grounds
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Haslar for staff days and open days
Haslar is about 2 miles south-east of Gosport, in Hampshire. Planning a hog roast for your team in Haslar? We can help. We bring hog roasts to all 683 towns and villages across Hampshire. We cater events right across the region, from Haslar to Southampton (about 15 miles away).
Teams travelling in by rail can use the station: the closest railway station is Portsmouth Harbour station, roughly 1.5 miles north-east of the centre. The coast is within about 2 miles, and open sites can be breezy, so we choose a sheltered spot for the roaster.
Staff events anywhere in PO12 start with an outdoor spot for the roaster and roughly how many staff. That could mean a staff event in a garden on Froude Road, Military Road and Monckton Road, as long as there is somewhere outside to cook. We also bring hog roasts to staff events in Clayhall (1 mile north-west), Alverstoke (1 mile west), Portsmouth Point (1 mile north-east), Privett (2 miles north-west) and Portsea (2 miles north-east). Further out, we also cater in Havant (8 miles north-east), Fareham (6 miles north-west), Horndean (10 miles north-east), Hedge End (12 miles north-west), Waterlooville (8 miles north-east) and Purbrook (7 miles north-east).
A little further out are Southsea (1.6 miles east) and Southsea Castle (1.8 miles east). Within reach you will find West of the River Alver.
- Nearby schools include St Vincent College (1.4 miles north) and Bay House School (1.6 miles west)
- Nearby, you’ll find The Fighting Cocks pub (under half a mile north-west)
How it works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. The smell normally brings people over long before we carve. For a staff lunch in Haslar, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 4:00pm, so evening events need a lit cooking area. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- Tell us where, when, how many and the serving time.

- On the day we set up and roast through the morning.

- We tidy up and leave the site clean.
How to prepare

Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Collect dietary needs when you send the invite
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
- Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, for the alternatives
At the agreed time, our chef carves and our staff serve, keeping the queue moving.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Working with your venue
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we will tell you what we can send.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Is a hog roast right for your staff event?
For client events, choose china, sides and lamb or chicken for a more polished feel. The main driver is numbers: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
