About our corporate hog roast in Charing Hill
Instead of booking a restaurant, bring the food to the team. A hog roast in the car park or grounds keeps everyone together. Typical bookings include team days and away days and retirement do’s, with rotisserie chicken, hog roast rolls and halloumi skewers.
Rural businesses around Charing Hill can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, which makes a hog roast a real treat. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish before booking.
For planners, venues and organisers
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Ask staff about dietary needs in advance
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, for the alternatives
If the schedule moves, tell us: we can hold the roast for a short time.
Salads and coleslaw make it a fuller lunch.
About the food
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and there is a piece for everyone who wants it.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
Catered or do it yourself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
A hog roast compared with other options
For client events, add china, sides and a second roast for a more polished feel. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
Why us?

Common questions in Charing Hill
Is Charing Hill close to London?
Roughly 43 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you do a hog roast in Spuckles and Kennelling Woods?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will talk it through when we quote.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your staff will want somewhere dry to eat.
Do you need a car park?
Most car parks and yards are fine, given level ground and clearance.
Step by step
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. If your staff event in Charing Hill runs into the evening, check the light: sunset ranges from about 9:15pm in June to 3:50pm in December.
