Common questions in Southampton
How far is Southampton from London?
About 69 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you do a hog roast in Rockstone Place Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
What about staff who do not eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. We will explain the details with your quote.
What comes with the hog roast?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
What’s the price?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A safe distance from walls and vehicles
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- Your site’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
What we serve
- Vegan option (Ve)
- Spit-roast lamb
- Coleslaw
- Rotisserie chicken
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Crackling
- Stuffing and apple sauce

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Put the allergen list where people can see it

- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food

The process
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. In Southampton, summer evenings stay light until about 9:25pm, which suits a team barbecue-style evening. In late September, the light goes at about 7:10pm.

- The roast starts early on site.
- We serve within your break.
