Corporate hog roast for Highfield
Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Collect dietary needs when you send the invite
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
- Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
We will sign in and follow site rules.

The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it’s needed, which keeps it hot and moist.
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: golden, crunchy and salty.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.

Highfield: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast in Southampton Common?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Is Highfield close to London?
About 69 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will fit around changes.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Can you work to our lunch time?
We plan the roast around your break. Rolls are the fastest way to serve.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we’ll check.
