Corporate hog roast in Cobham
Corporate hog roast in Cobham, slow-roasted on site
Most teams have a set break, so we plan the roast to be ready on time. Rolls are the quickest way to serve. We’re often asked to cater end-of-project celebrations and team days and away days, serving crackling, spit-roast lamb and coleslaw.
Near Cobham, workplaces can be far from shops, so a hog roast lunch is welcome. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
Is a hog roast right for your staff event?
Compared with a restaurant outing, a hog roast is easier to organise and keeps people together. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
Why book our hog roast in Cobham

How the day works
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. In Cobham, summer evenings stay light until about 9:20pm, which suits a team barbecue-style evening. In late September, the light goes at about 7:00pm.

Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Find out how many do not eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
If the schedule moves, tell us: a cooked roast can be held for a while.
Salads and coleslaw make it a fuller lunch.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
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.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Before you choose a spot
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- Sign-off for outside caterers
- Access through the site gates
- A covered area or canteen for wet weather
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- 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
