How our corporate hog roast works in Ampfield
Most teams have a set break, so the roast is timed to the minute and serve quickly. Rolls keep service fast. We’re frequently asked to cater launch days and family fun days, with hog roast rolls, halloumi skewers and spit-roast lamb.
For farms and rural sites near Ampfield, we can cook in the yard. Tell us about access. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
Before you choose a spot
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Look for:
- A safe distance from walls and vehicles
- A covered area or canteen for wet weather
- Your site’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster

Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Collect dietary needs when you send the invite
We set up on the agreed spot, often first thing, and the roast cooks through the morning.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

Prices and what affects them
We do not use a fixed price list, because every staff event is different. What matters most:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The date and time of year
- How many people are eating
The main driver is numbers: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Where the event is
- A photo of the cooking area
- An estimate of numbers

Should I cook it myself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Organising for someone else?
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
