About our corporate hog roast in Chineham
Open days and family fun days need food that copes with a crowd. One roast feeds a crowd, and our team serves and clears. We’re often asked to cater staff thank-you lunches and launch days, with rotisserie chicken, spit-roast lamb and salads.
For businesses around Chineham, a staff lunch in the yard is easy to arrange. Let us know about the site. Our chef carves in front of your staff, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to street-food vans, a hog roast feeds plenty of people quickly from one roast. 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.
Why Chineham hosts choose us
- All the equipment comes with us

How it works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking does not depend on mains power. After-work summer events in Chineham have light until about 9:25pm at midsummer and 8:55pm in late May, which suits a team barbecue-style evening. In late September, the light goes at about 7:10pm.

- The team carves and serves on time.
- We tidy up and leave the site clean.
How to prepare

- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment

Common questions in Chineham
Can you do a hog roast in Eastrop Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.

Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
