How our corporate hog roast works in Dorney

Rural businesses around Dorney can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, which makes a hog roast a real treat. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your staff.

How the day works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. For a staff lunch in Dorney, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for later events. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:25pm.
- You send us the site address, date, numbers and serving window.
- You get a check on the date and the site, and a quote.
- We arrive in good time and start the roast under cover.
- The team carves and serves on time.
- Afterwards we clear up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

Questions from Dorney
Can you do a hog roast in Sutherland Grange?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
Is Dorney close to London?
Roughly 24 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
How do we book for a business?
Send your requirements, and we will set out the terms with your quote.
Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll adjust.
Do you come to Dorney?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Dorney and Windsor and Maidenhead. Send us the address for a quote.
Is there a non-pork option?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We’ll bring the rest.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
Afterwards we tidy up, leaving the site as we found it.
