Corporate hog roast for your staff event in Rowner
A summer party for staff in Rowner doesn’t have to mean a restaurant booking. A hog roast in the car park or grounds keeps everyone together. On the menu are rotisserie chicken, salads and halloumi skewers, and we are often booked for client and customer events and end-of-project celebrations.

Questions from Rowner
How far is Rowner from London?
About 66 miles from central London.
Which station is closest to Rowner?
The closest is Fareham station, roughly 2.3 miles away.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
Can you send documents for facilities?
Tell us what your site asks for, and we’ll tell you what we can send.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Collect dietary needs when you send the invite
- Find out how many don’t eat pork, for the alternatives
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
On the day, we arrive early and set up where agreed, and the roast cooks through the morning.
