Titchfield: your questions answered
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Peter: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
What’s the nearest station to Titchfield?
The closest is Fareham station, roughly 2 miles away.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not provide halal meat.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
How do we prepare?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
Is a hog roast right for your wake?
Next to a cold buffet, a warm plated meal is more comforting. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Why Titchfield hosts choose us
- Planned to your running order
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- An itemised quote

A closer look at the menu
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken goes into rolls or onto plates alongside the pork.
Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork
- Ask close family about dietary needs
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Ask us to label the vegetarian food
We set up quietly and start the roast early, well away from the entrance.
Rotisserie chicken is a good alternative for those who don’t eat pork.

How the day works
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking does not depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Autumn and winter afternoons in Titchfield get dark early: about 7:10pm in late September and 4:00pm in December, so we plan lighting for later gatherings.
- Get in touch when the date is set.

- We set up and roast on the day.
- Our staff serve without fuss.
- We tidy up and go.
How to prepare
