Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a formal plated lunch, a hog roast is relaxed and normally 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 Hedge End hosts choose us
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- No surprises: everything in writing

About our corporate hog roast in Hedge End
For a staff day in Hedge End, a hog roast is a crowd-pleaser: quick to serve, easy to eat standing up and enjoyed by most people. There are choices for people who don’t eat pork. We serve hog roast rolls, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers, and we’re regularly asked to cater retirements and long-service awards and summer team parties.
A staff treat in the yard in Hedge End is easy with a hog roast, as long as the site allows gas cooking. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

How the day works
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. Daytime open days in Hedge End are rarely affected by light, but in December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so late events need lighting.
- Tell us where, when, how many and when you eat.
- We confirm the site details and send a price.

- Our chef carves and our staff serve on time.

Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, for the alternatives
We set up on the agreed spot, frequently first thing, then roast through the morning.

Working with your venue
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
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.
What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken can be served in a roll or on a plate alongside the pork.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
