Hook questions
Which station is closest to Hook?
Swanwick station, about 2.2 miles north of the centre.
Could you cook in Hamble Common?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your staff will want somewhere dry to eat.
Do you come to Hook?
We do. Send us the address and we’ll check the date.
Can you send documents for facilities?
Each site is different: send us the checklist and we’ll reply.
What about staff who do not eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We don’t provide halal meat.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Full catering or machine hire?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
The process
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. In Hook, summer evenings stay light until about 9:20pm, which suits a team barbecue-style evening. In late September, the light goes at about 7:10pm.
- Start with the date, site and numbers.
- We sort access and send a quote.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- We carve and serve quickly.
- We leave the site clean.
How to prepare
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
