How our corporate hog roast works in Filchampstead
Most teams have a set break, so we plan the roast to be ready on time. Rolls are the quickest way to serve. We are often asked to cater launch days and staff thank-you lunches, serving salads, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls.
For farms and rural sites near Filchampstead, we can cook in the yard. Tell us about access. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. For a staff lunch in Filchampstead, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit cooking area. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:25pm.
- Tell us where, when, how many and the serving time.

- On the day we set up and roast through the morning.
- We serve quickly within your break.
- We pack away and leave the site as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.

Contact us with your details, and we’ll set out the terms with your quote.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll check it with you before booking.

What else we do in Filchampstead
Planners, venues and businesses
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Catered or do it yourself?
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.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Ask staff about dietary needs in advance
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
Let us know about changes: we can hold the roast for a short time.
China crockery is available for client events.
What a hog roast costs
The price comes down to:
- The number of people

- The journey to the venue
- The date and time of year
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
Details that help
