Corporate hog roast for your staff event in Forest Green
Whether it’s twenty people or a whole site, the roast is sized to fit. Give us numbers and timings and we’ll quote. Whether it is staff summer days and site open days, we’ll put together a menu of halloumi skewers, salads and hog roast rolls.
Near Forest Green, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a hog roast a real treat. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
Prices and what affects them
Here’s what affects the price:
- Time on site
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Whether you want china
- Season and day of the week
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Details that help
To check availability and the cooking area, we will need:
- Where the event is
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Dietary requirements
- Your menu choices
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat. We will confirm availability and send a price. Send us your details through our quote form.
Is a hog roast right for your staff event?
Next to a plated lunch, a hog roast is relaxed and typically better value. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups generally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why us?
- Planned to your running order
- An itemised quote
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- Crackling for everyone who wants it

How the day works
We work to your timings. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day. Open days in Forest Green usually finish in daylight, but in December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so late events need lighting.
- You send us the site address, date, numbers and serving window.
- We check access and the cooking area, then quote.
- We set up early and get the hog roasting.
- The team carves and serves on time.
- We pack away and leave the site as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Name a contact for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote is simple: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We will reply with a clear price and what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.

Common questions in Forest Green
Is Forest Green close to London?
Roughly 27 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Could you cook in Wallis Wood?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But it is always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Do you need a car park?
Anywhere suitable and approved, outdoors and under cover.
What about staff who don’t eat pork?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will fit around changes.

Looking after everyone
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Collect dietary needs when you send the invite
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
We set up on the agreed spot, frequently first thing, then roast through the morning.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it is needed, so it stays hot and juicy right to the last roll.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.

For event organisers in Forest Green
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
