DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.

How we price a hog roast for your team
There’s no fixed price list, because every staff event is different. What matters most:

- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Travel to Finberry
For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

FAQs for Finberry
Could you cook in Ashford Green Corridors?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Is Finberry close to London?
Roughly 50 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
Can you feed staff and families?
Open days are a great fit, with alternatives for everyone.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
