Slow-roasted pork in Knowle
How the day works
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your staff, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. For a staff lunch in Knowle, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 4:00pm, so evening events need a lit cooking area. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- Send us the site, date, numbers and break time.
- We confirm the site details and send a price.

- Our chef carves and our staff serve on time.

Your questions about a hog roast for your team in Knowle
Can you roast near the sea around Knowle?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
What’s the nearest station to Knowle?
The closest is Fareham station, roughly 2 miles away.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Do we need to provide electricity?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We don’t provide halal meat.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a photo if you are unsure.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
What the cooking area needs
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- A named contact for the day
- A level spot in the car park, yard or grounds
- Somewhere to park our vehicle
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

How we price a hog roast for your team
Your quote depends on:
- The journey to the venue
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Season and day of the week
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
What we need to know
Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:
- Where the event is
- Allergies we should know about
- Roughly how many people
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat. We will check the date and send a quote. Fill in our quote form.
Working with your venue
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Share the allergen information with the team
We will sign in and follow site rules.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

About the food
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes to make it a proper meal, especially at a sit-down event.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
