Slow-roasted pork in Farnborough
Catered or do it yourself?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
How our corporate hog roast works in Farnborough
Workplaces have rules, and we work to them: vehicle access, gas equipment and where we can cook. Pass on your site’s requirements. Whether it is family fun days and team treats, we will put together a menu of salads, coleslaw and rotisserie chicken.
For offices in and around Farnborough, the roaster usually goes in a car park, yard or courtyard, if the building allows gas cooking. Facilities teams usually need to approve gas equipment and access. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours.

Organising for someone else?
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it’s needed, which keeps it hot and moist.
Rotisserie chicken
For staff who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.
What the cooking area needs
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- Space away from buildings, vehicles and trees
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- Somewhere for staff to eat if it rains
As a London location, Farnborough is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
