Slow-roasted pork in Rownhams
The process
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your staff, with crackling for everyone who wants it. In Rownhams, summer evenings stay light until about 9:25pm, so an after-work hog roast works well in summer. By late September, sunset is around 7:10pm.
- We start with the site, date, numbers and lunch break.
- You get a check on the date and the site, and a quote.
- On the day we set up and roast through the morning.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve to your timings.
- We tidy up and leave the site clean.
Getting ready for the day

About our corporate hog roast in Rownhams
Sites typically have rules for outside caterers: vehicle access, gas equipment and where we can cook. Pass on your site’s requirements. For launch days and team days and away days, we will put together a menu of hog roast rolls, spit-roast lamb and crackling and more.
Work events near Rownhams might be at a farm business, a workshop or an industrial unit. A hog roast suits all of them. Timings are planned around your staff event, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

About the food
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, which keeps it hot and moist right to the last roll.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
Why choose a hog roast in Rownhams?
Compared with a formal plated lunch, it is less formal and normally costs less. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.

- Serving and clearing done for you
Organising for someone else?
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers.
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We’ll fit in with site rules.
Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
Let us know about changes: we can hold the roast for a short time.
Ask about china for a more formal lunch, quoted separately.

Workplace catering around Rownhams
Rownhams is about 3 miles north-east of Totton, in Southampton. Wherever your staff event is in Rownhams, we can bring the roaster, given a suitable outdoor cooking area. Rownhams is one of 40 places in Southampton we cover.
Historic houses near Rownhams include South Stoneham House (3.5 miles east) and Southampton Tudor House and Garden (4 miles south-east). Historic venues suit client days, but check their rules on gas cooking first. Teams travelling in by rail can use the station: the nearest station is Redbridge station, about 2.1 miles south. With the New Forest National Park within about 8 miles, rural team days are easy to arrange. The coast is within about 5 miles, and open sites can be breezy, so we choose a sheltered spot for the roaster.
Here we cover the SO16 postcode area, so your staff event can be anywhere in it. That could mean a staff event in a garden on Rownhams Way, Horns Drove and Rownhams Close or the roads around them, wherever there is an outdoor spot for the roaster. Neighbouring places where we cater staff events include Upton (1 mile west), Nursling (1 mile south-west), Hillyfields (1 mile south-west), Lordswood (1 mile south-east) and Toothill (1 mile north-west).

Catered or do it yourself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
What affects the price in Rownhams

- The number of people
