Corporate hog roast in Waterlooville
How our corporate hog roast works in Waterlooville
For a client event, a hog roast carved by a chef makes an impression. Add china and sides for a more formal feel. We’re frequently asked to cater retirements and long-service awards and open days and family days, with crackling, hog roast rolls and salads.
For businesses in Waterlooville, a summer lunch in the car park is an easy win, if the site agrees. The carving happens right in front of your staff, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

What the cooking area needs
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- A named contact for the day
- Flat ground in a car park or courtyard
- Clearance from the building and parked cars
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

What we serve, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing go with the pork perfectly. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Request gluten-free rolls
We set up on the agreed spot, often first thing, and the roast cooks through the morning.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Menu choices and extras

Planning help
For planners, venues and organisers
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
