Corporate hog roast in South Hayling
How our corporate hog roast works in South Hayling
Most teams have a set break, so we plan the roast to be ready on time. Rolls keep service fast. We are often asked to cater summer team parties and site open days, serving halloumi skewers, coleslaw and spit-roast lamb.
For businesses around South Hayling, a staff lunch in the yard is easy to arrange. Let us know about the site. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue run by staff, nobody from the team is stuck cooking. 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, which is why each one gets its own quote.

There’s no fixed price list, because every staff event is different. The main factors are:
- Site access
- Plates or china
- Numbers
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups usually cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.

We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or PO11 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Use our quote form.
Common questions in South Hayling
Is South Hayling close to London?
About 62 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Which station is closest to South Hayling?
Fratton station, about 4.3 miles west of the centre.
Do you come to South Hayling?

Can you serve a fixed lunch break?
Give us your break time and numbers and we will make it work.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Where on site can you cook?
A car park, yard or grounds usually works, if there is a level spot away from buildings and vehicles.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A photo helps.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.

How the day works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking does not depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. For a staff lunch in South Hayling, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 4:00pm, so plan lighting for later events. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:20pm.

Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
- Find out how many don’t eat pork, for the alternatives
- Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Collect dietary needs when you send the invite
Let us know about changes: a cooked roast can be held for a while.
If it’s a themed open day, tell us and we will fit in.
Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
The menu, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing make the roll, just as they should.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
