Planning help
Organising for someone else?
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
What we serve, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, with gluten-free rolls on request.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to grilling to order, carving is quicker for big numbers. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
What you get with us
- Timed around your day
- All the equipment comes with us
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- A choice of salads and potatoes

South Hayling questions
What’s the nearest station to South Hayling?
Fratton station, about 4.3 miles west of the centre.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
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.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. We will explain the details with your quote.
Do you go to remote locations?
Generally, with good directions and access details. Let us know about the route.
Do you need much space at base?
At base, on level ground. Locations will confirm the spot.
How do we prepare?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a photo if you’re unsure.
Planning the cooking spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- A route for our vehicle
- Shelter for crew
- A safe distance from kit
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
