Your questions about a hog roast for your team in Marchwood
Can you roast near the sea around Marchwood?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
What’s the nearest station to Marchwood?
Millbrook (Hants) station, about 1.6 miles north-east of the centre.
How does payment work for businesses?
Contact us with your details, and the quote will include the terms.
Can you set up in our car park?
A car park, yard or grounds normally works, given level ground and clearance.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so tell us your best estimate. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Corporate hog roast in Marchwood, carved to order
Lunch breaks are frequently fixed, so we plan the roast to be ready on time and serve quickly. Rolls keep service fast. Popular choices include spit-roast lamb, crackling and coleslaw, and typical bookings are for retirement do’s and launch days.
For businesses around Marchwood, a staff lunch in the yard is easy to arrange. Tell us about the site and access. Our chef carves in front of your staff, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Organising for someone else?
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some staff won’t eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Share the allergen information with the team
- Find out how many do not eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
We follow your site’s sign-in and safety rules, and keep vehicles where you ask.
China crockery is available for client events.
What a hog roast costs
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Time on site
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Whether you want china
- Travel to Marchwood
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups generally cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
What we need to know
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- Your date and serving time
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Roughly how many people
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture

How the day works
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so keep us posted on the day. After-work summer events in Marchwood have light until about 9:25pm at midsummer and 8:55pm in late May, so an after-work hog roast works well in summer. In late September, the light goes at about 7:10pm.
- Tell us where, when, how many and when you eat.
- We confirm the site details and send a price.
- We set up early and roast through the morning.
- We serve within your break.
- We tidy up and leave.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
