About our corporate hog roast in Gipsy Hill
Open days and family fun days need food that copes with a crowd. One roast feeds a crowd, with our staff serving and clearing. We are often asked to cater long-service celebrations and open days and family days, with spit-roast lamb, crackling and hog roast rolls.
For offices in and around Gipsy Hill, the roaster usually goes in a car park, yard or courtyard, if the building allows gas cooking. Facilities teams generally need to approve gas equipment and access. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat.

What’s the nearest station to Gipsy Hill?

Could you cook in Long Meadow?

What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your staff will want somewhere dry to eat.
Can you be flexible on serving time?

Can you work to our lunch time?
Yes. We time the roast to be ready and serve quickly. Rolls keep service quick.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we will talk you through it.
Full catering or machine hire?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
