Questions from Ower
Is Ower too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Which station is closest to Ower?
Totton station, about 3 miles south-east of the centre.
How much will it be?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
Can a company book?
Let us know your company’s booking requirements, and we will explain the booking terms.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We will bring the rest.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will confirm everything in writing.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with individual food vans, carving serves the whole team fast. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why book our hog roast in Ower
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- All the equipment comes with us
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours

Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.

Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
At the agreed time, our chef carves and our staff serve, keeping the queue moving.
If it is a themed open day, tell us and we’ll fit in.
How it works
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. If your staff event in Ower runs into the evening, check the light: sunset ranges from about 9:25pm in June to 4:00pm in December.
