Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Ask staff about dietary needs in advance
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Find out how many do not eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
At the agreed time, our chef carves and our staff serve, keeping the queue moving.
Ask about china for a more formal lunch, quoted separately.

- Clearance from the building and parked cars

Kings Worthy questions
Is Kings Worthy close to London?
About 59 miles from central London.
What’s the nearest station to Kings Worthy?
Winchester station, about 1.8 miles south-west of the centre.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we’ll check.
How do we book for a business?
Contact us with your details, and the quote will include the terms.
Can you serve a fixed lunch break?
Yes. We time the roast to be ready and serve quickly. Rolls keep service quick.
Who serves?
You do not need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
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.
Organising for someone else?
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are 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.
The process
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. If your staff event in Kings Worthy runs into the evening, check the light: about 9:25pm in June, 7:10pm in late September and 4:00pm in December.
- Start with the date, site and numbers.
- We sort access and send a quote.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- Service is fast once we carve.
- We clear up afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival

Prices and what affects them
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Menu choices and extras
- The number of people
- Site access
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and the cooking area, tell us:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Where the event is
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Numbers not final yet? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Send us your details through our quote form.

Questions to ask before booking
- What crockery is supplied
- A clear list of what’s included
- Travel and any London charges
- How dietary needs are handled
Catered or do it yourself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
