What affects the price in Grange
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Plates or china
- Site access
- Numbers
For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Getting an accurate quote

How our corporate hog roast works in Grange
Instead of booking a restaurant, bring the food to the team. A hog roast in the car park or grounds keeps everyone together. Typical bookings include away days and client hospitality, with coleslaw, hog roast rolls and crackling.
Near Grange, workplaces can be far from shops, so a hog roast lunch is welcome. The hog is roasted on site at your staff event, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.

Roughly 30 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you work to our lunch time?

Organising for someone else?
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Step by step
Expect a calm, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we have agreed, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. In Grange, summer evenings stay light until about 9:20pm, so an after-work hog roast works well in summer. By late September, sunset is around 7:00pm.

What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Looking after everyone
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed

Name someone in facilities or reception for the day, so we can find you quickly.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
