About our corporate hog roast in New Forest
Workplaces have rules, and we work to them: access, gas cooking and the cooking area. Pass on your site’s requirements. We’re often asked to cater end-of-project celebrations and customer days, with coleslaw, spit-roast lamb and hog roast rolls.
Near New Forest, workplaces can be far from shops, so a hog roast lunch is welcome. Our chef carves in front of your staff, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.
Should I cook it myself?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Planning the cooking spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- A safe distance from walls and vehicles
- A named contact for the day
- A level spot in the car park, yard or grounds
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

Staff events anywhere in SP6 start with an outdoor spot for the roaster and roughly how many staff.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Add a dietary question to the sign-up
We serve on time, keeping the queue moving.

What affects the price in New Forest
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Whether you want china
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Site access
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What we need to know
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any venue rules
- An estimate of numbers
Getting a quote is simple: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We will reply with a clear price and what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Step by step
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. After-work summer events in New Forest have light until about 9:25pm at midsummer and 8:55pm in late May, which suits a team barbecue-style evening. By late September, sunset is around 7:10pm.
- Contact us with the basics.
- We sort access and send a quote.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- We carve and serve quickly.
- We clear up afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
