Corporate hog roast in Hare Hatch, slow-roasted on site
Long-service awards, retirements and site openings in Hare Hatch all suit a hog roast, as a simple way to say thank you. We are often asked to cater retirement do’s and site open days, with crackling, salads and coleslaw.
Near Hare Hatch, workplaces can be far from shops, so a hog roast lunch is welcome. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
Full catering or machine hire?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.

Your questions about a hog roast for your team in Hare Hatch
How far is Hare Hatch from London?
Roughly 32 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Hare Hatch?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Can you set up in our car park?
Anywhere suitable and approved, outdoors and under cover.
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 will check it with you before booking.
Can you serve a fixed lunch break?
Tell us the numbers and the time and we will plan around them.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.
How we price a hog roast for your team
There’s no fixed price list, because every staff event is different. The main factors are:
- Whether you want china
- How many people are eating
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
Travel matters for the price: travel is included in your quote. Give us the address for an accurate figure.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Dietary requirements
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Where the event is
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your staff event for a quote: fill in our quote form.
How it works
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. In Hare Hatch, summer evenings stay light until about 9:25pm, so an after-work hog roast works well in summer. In late September, the light goes at about 7:05pm.
