About our corporate hog roast in Burghfield
A hog roast brings lunch to the workplace. We set up in a car park, yard or courtyard in Burghfield, roast through the morning and serve at your lunch break. On the menu are halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and salads, and we are frequently booked for milestone celebrations and site openings.
For farms and rural sites near Burghfield, we can cook in the yard. Let us know about tracks and gates. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to:
- The journey to the venue
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Season and day of the week
- Whether you want china
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

How the day works
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. After-work summer events in Burghfield have light until about 9:25pm at midsummer and 8:55pm in late May, so an after-work hog roast works well in summer. In late September, the light goes at about 7:10pm.

- We confirm the site details and send a price.
- The roast starts early on site.
- We serve within your break.
- We tidy up and leave.
How to prepare

What the cooking area needs

Catered or do it yourself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
