Staff days in Sway: access and travel
Sway is about 3 miles north-west of Lymington, in Hampshire. A hog roast suits staff events around Sway, whatever the venue. We bring hog roasts to 683 places in Hampshire. Our bookings stretch from Sway to Southampton (about 13 miles away).
With the New Forest National Park within about 3 miles, rural team days are easy to arrange. Within about 4 miles of the sea, sites can be windy, so we choose a sheltered spot for the roaster.
This part of Hampshire takes in SO41, and we can cater your staff event anywhere in it. Local streets include Station Road, Anderwood Drive and Cruse Close; a staff event on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in. For staff events just outside Sway, we cover Mead End (1 mile west), Tiptoe (1 mile south-west), Hordle (2 miles south), Ashley (2 miles south-west) and Bashley (2 miles west). We also serve nearby towns such as Totton (10 miles north-east), Lymington (3 miles south-east), Romsey (15 miles north), Hythe (10 miles north-east), New Milton (3 miles south-west) and Ringwood (9 miles north-west).

About our corporate hog roast in Sway
Workplaces have rules, and we work to them: access, gas cooking and the cooking area. Pass on your site’s requirements. We are frequently asked to cater retirements and long-service awards and project wrap-ups, with coleslaw, spit-roast lamb and crackling.
Around Sway, teams work at farms, workshops and units. It works at any of them. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
What a hog roast costs
Each price is built from:
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Access to the cooking area
- Travel to Sway
- Season and day of the week
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a formal plated lunch, it’s less formal and normally costs less. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we will plan the vegan burgers or sausages.
Common questions in Sway
Which station is closest to Sway?
Sway station, in Sway itself.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
How long does the roast need?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Do you cater open days with families?
We do. Include visitors in your numbers and we’ll cater for all.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.

How it works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. Lunchtime bookings in Sway are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 4:05pm, so evening events need a lit cooking area. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:25pm.
