About our corporate hog roast in Farnborough
For a client event, a hog roast carved by a chef makes an impression. With china and sides, it becomes a proper meal. For site openings and away days, we’ll put together a menu of hog roast rolls, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken and more.
For businesses in Farnborough, a summer lunch in the car park is an easy win, as long as the site allows gas cooking. 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.
Before you choose a spot
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Ideally:
- Clearance from the building and parked cars
- Shelter for the team
- Your site’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
Popular choices
- Salads
- Spit-roast lamb
- Hog roast rolls
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Rotisserie chicken
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Crackling
- Vegan option (Ve)

About the food
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.

What a hog roast costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Access to the cooking area
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Whether you want china
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
What to tell us
Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The venue or postcode
- An estimate of numbers
When you’re weighing up caterers, ask each one exactly what’s included. We spell it out in ours. To get yours, send us your details through our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.

Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
On the day, we arrive early and set up where agreed, and the roast cooks through the morning.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
