Corporate hog roast in Hensting
Corporate hog roast for your staff event in Hensting
A corporate hog roast feeds a team without anyone leaving site. We set up in a car park, yard or courtyard in Hensting, roast through the morning and serve at your lunch break. For staff thank-you lunches and away days, we will put together a menu of salads, crackling and coleslaw and more.
For farms and rural sites near Hensting, we can cook in the yard. Let us know about tracks and gates. The carving happens right in front of your staff, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.
Hensting: your questions answered
How far is Hensting from London?
Roughly 62 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Which station is closest to Hensting?
Shawford station, about 2.2 miles north-west of the centre.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
What about staff who do not eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Can a company book?
Tell us what your accounts team needs when you enquire, and we’ll confirm how booking and payment work.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Do you need a car park?
Most car parks and yards are fine, if there is a level spot away from buildings and vehicles.
Do you cover Hensting?
Yes, Hensting is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will confirm availability.
Catered or do it yourself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Why choose a hog roast in Hensting?
Next to a staff barbecue, nobody from the team is stuck cooking. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you are paying for.
Why book with us
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to

Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors are:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Site access
- Crockery choices
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

The process
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. The smell normally brings people over long before we carve. After-work summer events in Hensting have light until about 9:25pm at midsummer and 8:55pm in late May, so an after-work hog roast works well in summer. By late September, sunset is around 7:10pm.
- Send us the site, date, numbers and break time.
- We confirm the site details and send a price.
- The roast starts early on site.
- We serve within your break.
- We tidy up and leave.
How to prepare
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
