Corporate hog roast in Great Bookham
How it works
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day. For a staff lunch in Great Bookham, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit cooking area. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:20pm.
- We start with the site, date, numbers and lunch break.
- You get a check on the date and the site, and a 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.
Before we arrive
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day

How our corporate hog roast works in Great Bookham
Staff days in Great Bookham work well with a hog roast: quick to serve, easy to eat standing up and enjoyed by most people. Chicken, lamb and vegetarian options cover everyone else. For team treats and retirement do’s, we’ll put together a menu of spit-roast lamb, coleslaw and rotisserie chicken for your staff.
Work events near Great Bookham might be at a farm business, a workshop or an industrial unit. It works at any of them. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish.
What affects the price in Great Bookham
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Numbers
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Site access
- Distance from us
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Getting an accurate quote
When you contact us, please mention:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- The date and time of the event
- Anything the venue has asked for
- A picture of the cooking area
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so it is easy to compare like for like. Fill in our quote form.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A level spot in the car park, yard or grounds
- Space away from buildings, vehicles and trees
- Your site’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Share the allergen information with the team
- Ask staff about dietary needs in advance
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
- Request gluten-free rolls
We serve on time, so people get back to work on time.
Ask about china for a more formal lunch.
Catered or do it yourself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a formal plated lunch, it’s less formal and normally costs less. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
Why Great Bookham hosts choose us
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Carved by our chef in front of your staff
- Served at the time you choose
- All the equipment comes with us
