Your questions about a hog roast for your event in Bursledon
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Could you cook in Westwood Woodland Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A photo helps.
Can a hog roast raise money?
We are happy to talk it through.
Is it pay as you go?
Both models are possible. We’ll work it out together.
How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so tell us your best estimate. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Do you need power or water?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Space, access and the venue
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Look for:
- Your trader requirements
- Event approval for hot-food traders
- Space away from marquees, stalls and trees
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

For planners, venues and organisers
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
What happens on the day
We work to your timings. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. In December, Bursledon is dark by about 4:00pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We tidy the pitch.
Before we arrive
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
