Corporate hog roast for your staff event in Headley
Instead of booking a restaurant, bring the food to the team. Keep everyone on site with a hog roast. For summer team parties and open days and family days, we can cook crackling, spit-roast lamb and hog roast rolls.
Rural businesses around Headley can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a hog roast lunch is welcome. Timings are planned around your staff event, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
Should I cook it myself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s 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.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Headley: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Headley?
The closest is Liphook station, roughly 3.4 miles away.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
What paperwork do you provide for our site?
Tell us what your site asks for, and we will tell you what we can send.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.
Can it be more formal?
Yes. Add china, sides and a second roast for a more formal feel.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Can you feed staff and families?
We do. Include visitors in your numbers and we’ll cater for all.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Collect dietary needs when you send the invite
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
At the agreed time, our chef carves and our staff serve, keeping the queue moving.
Add rotisserie chicken or lamb for choice.
