Questions from Townhill Park
What’s the nearest station to Townhill Park?
Swaythling station, about 1.1 miles north-west of the centre.
Can you do a hog roast in Riverside Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not provide halal meat.
Can we cook it ourselves?
Yes, DIY machine hire is available. We will talk you through it when we quote.
What comes with the hog roast?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Do you serve the food?
You do not need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
For event organisers in Townhill Park
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
Clear the route to the garden before we arrive, so we can wheel the equipment in.
Add chicken for younger or fussier guests.
Should I cook it myself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.

- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
