About our corporate hog roast in Hale

At country workplaces around Hale, we can cook in the yard. Let us know about tracks and gates. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
FAQs for Hale
Is Hale 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.
Is Hale close to London?
About 35 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.

Outside, always. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.

Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we will talk you through it.

Full catering or machine hire?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.

Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The journey to the venue
- Menu choices and extras
- Season and day of the week
- Plates or china
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups usually cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What to tell us
To check the date and the space, we will need:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- A photo of the cooking area
- Which meats and sides you’d like

For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
Space, access and the venue
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Things to check:
- Your site’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- Level hardstanding or lawn
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
