Your questions about a hog roast for your team in Itchen
Could you cook in Houndwell Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Can you cater in Itchen?
Yes, Itchen is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll check the date.
Catered or do it yourself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Working with your venue
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
The process
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Daytime open days in Itchen are rarely affected by light, but in December it is dark by about 4:00pm, so late events need lighting.
- Start with the date, site and numbers.
- We sort access and send a quote.
- We roast on site.
- We carve and serve quickly.
- We clear up afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Think about shelter for your staff
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
