Cosham: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Cosham?
Cosham station, in Cosham itself.
How far is Cosham from London?
About 62 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What’s included?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Do you bring a gazebo?
We bring cover for the roaster; plan shelter for guests in bad weather.
Will the smell bother the neighbours?
A friendly word helps: the roast cooks for hours and the smell travels. Some hosts invite them over for a roll.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, so it stays hot and juicy right to the last roll.
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
The process
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. A summer party in Cosham stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.
- Tell us about your party: date, address and numbers.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Getting ready for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain

Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Add a dietary question to the invite
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
Warn the neighbours: roasting takes hours and the smell travels, and they may ask for a roll.
Bunting or festoon lights near the serving table make a lovely party setting.
