How our corporate hog roast works in Hale Common
At an open day, you need food that serves plenty of people quickly. A hog roast does exactly that, and our team serves and clears. Typical bookings include staff thank-you lunches and long-service celebrations, with hog roast rolls, rotisserie chicken and spit-roast lamb.
For farms and rural sites near Hale Common, we can cook in the yard. Tell us about access. The hog is roasted on site at your staff event, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your staff.

Prices and what affects them
Your quote depends on:
- Time on site
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- How many people are eating
- Crockery choices
For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- A photo of the cooking area
- The venue or postcode
- Rough numbers
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your staff event: use our quote form.

Your questions about a hog roast for your team in Hale Common
Can you roast near the sea around Hale Common?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Is Hale Common too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your staff event for a quote.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
How long does the roast need?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Where the roaster can go in Hale Common
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Space away from buildings, vehicles and trees
