Corporate hog roast for your staff event in Chalvey
For a staff day in Chalvey, a hog roast is a crowd-pleaser: quick to serve, easy to eat standing up and enjoyed by most people. Chicken, lamb and vegetarian options cover everyone else. For summer staff parties and staff thank-you lunches, we will put together a menu of salads, rotisserie chicken and crackling.
Teams near Chalvey often go for a lunch in the yard or grounds. Tell us about the site and access. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Clearance from the building and parked cars
- Access through the site gates
- Somewhere for staff to eat if it rains
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
Popular choices

Catered or do it yourself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.

Common questions in Chalvey
How far is Chalvey from London?
Roughly 22 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Could you cook in Herschel Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do we need our own staff?
You don’t need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Can you cater in Chalvey?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Chalvey and Slough. Send us the address for a quote.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A photo helps.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
