How our corporate hog roast works in Grayswood
Sites generally have rules for outside caterers: access, gas cooking and the cooking area. Pass on your site’s requirements. For client and customer events and staff thank-you lunches, we can cook crackling, spit-roast lamb and salads.
For farms and rural sites near Grayswood, we can cook in the yard. Let us know about tracks and gates. The hog is roasted on site at your staff event, slowly, over several hours.
Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the site as we found it.
China crockery is available for client events, quoted separately.

FAQs for Grayswood
Do you cater at venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Is Grayswood close to London?
About 37 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Can you set up in our car park?
Most car parks and yards are fine, if there’s a level spot away from buildings and vehicles.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we’ll check.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
Do you come to Grayswood?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Grayswood and the rest of Surrey included. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
A hog roast compared with other options
For client events, choose china, sides and lamb or chicken to make it more formal. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why us?
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Carved by our chef in front of your staff

How it works
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Open days in Grayswood usually finish in daylight, but in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so late events need lighting.

What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some staff will be vegetarian, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: crisp, golden and full of flavour, straight off the hog.
Organising for someone else?
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is 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.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Before you choose a spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- Flat ground in a car park or courtyard
- Space away from buildings, vehicles and trees
- Somewhere for staff to eat if it rains
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
