About our corporate hog roast in Aldershot
Long-service awards, retirements and site openings in Aldershot all suit a hog roast, as a simple way to say thank you. We serve coleslaw, crackling and salads, and we’re regularly asked to cater customer days and long-service celebrations.
Workplaces in Aldershot range from offices to industrial units. A hog roast feeds the team on site without anyone leaving. The hog is roasted on site at your staff event, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.
The process
Here’s how the day typically runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. Daytime open days in Aldershot are rarely affected by light, but in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- Tell us where, when, how many and when you eat.
- We confirm the site details and send a price.
- The roast starts early on site.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve on time.
- We pack away and go.
Preparing for the day

- Gather dietary requirements early

Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- Space away from buildings, vehicles and trees
- Somewhere for staff to eat if it rains
- Somewhere to park our vehicle
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Your questions about a hog roast for your team in Aldershot
Could you cook in Princes Gardens?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the nearest station to Aldershot?
Aldershot has its own station: Aldershot station.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
Can you send documents for facilities?
Each site is different: pass on your list and we will respond.
What do you need from us on the day?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Can you work to our lunch time?
We plan the roast around your break. Rolls keep service quick.
Catered or do it yourself?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Find out how many don’t eat pork, for the alternatives
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
- Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
Give us a contact on site for the day, so we can find you quickly.
Ask about china for a more formal lunch, quoted separately.
