How our corporate hog roast works in Burpham
Most teams have a set break, so the roast is timed to the minute. Rolls are the quickest way to serve. Popular choices include hog roast rolls, crackling and salads, and we are often booked for away days and site openings.
Around Burpham, teams work at farms, workshops and units. It works at any of them. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
How it works
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. In Burpham, summer evenings stay light until about 9:20pm, which suits a team barbecue-style evening. By late September, sunset is around 7:05pm.

Common questions in Burpham
Which station is closest to Burpham?
The closest is London Road (Guildford) station, roughly 1.4 miles away.
Could you cook in Riverside Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will fit around changes.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a photo if you are unsure.
Is a hog roast smart enough for clients?
With china and sides, it works well for clients.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Can you send documents for facilities?
Let us know your site’s requirements, and we will tell you what we can send.
Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
We follow your site’s sign-in and safety rules, and keep vehicles where you ask.
