Questions from Bursledon
Can you roast near the sea around Bursledon?
Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
We’re gathering after a service at St Paul’s Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Can you do gluten-free?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
Do we need a marquee for a party hog roast?
The roaster has its own cover; guests will want somewhere dry to eat if it rains.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
Can we hire the hog roast machine for our party?
Yes, DIY machine hire is available. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works.
The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it is needed, which keeps it hot and moist.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing are the traditional pairing. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
What happens on the day
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Sunset in Bursledon is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, so most summer parties eat in daylight. After about 4:00pm in December, we need light to carve.
