About our corporate hog roast in Farnham Royal
Open days and family fun days need food that copes with a crowd. A hog roast does exactly that, and our team serves and clears. On the menu are halloumi skewers, salads and hog roast rolls, and we are frequently booked for summer team parties and team treats.
For farms and rural sites near Farnham Royal, a hog roast brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Tell us about access. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Approval from facilities for gas equipment
- Shelter for the team
- Access through the site gates
