Corporate hog roast in Crookham Village
How our corporate hog roast works in Crookham Village
Sites generally have rules for outside caterers: access, gas cooking and the cooking area. Pass on your site’s requirements. Typical bookings include new premises openings and family fun days, serving hog roast rolls, crackling and rotisserie chicken.
For farms and rural sites near Crookham Village, a hog roast brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Let us know about tracks and gates. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
Catered or do it yourself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us 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.
Crookham Village questions
What’s the nearest station to Crookham Village?
Fleet station, about 1.9 miles north-east of the centre.
Can you do a hog roast in Calthorpe Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will check it with you before booking.
Can you send documents for facilities?
Tell us what your site asks for, and we will tell you what we can send.
Can you set up in our car park?
Most car parks and yards are fine, given level ground and clearance.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.

A closer look at the menu
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
