Slow-roasted pork in Hersham
Corporate hog roast in Hersham, slow-roasted on site
A corporate hog roast feeds a team without anyone leaving site. We set up in a car park, yard or courtyard in Hersham, roast through the morning and carve at the time you set. For customer days and away days, we will put together a menu of crackling, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers for your staff.
Work events near Hersham might be at a farm business, a workshop or an industrial unit. It works at any of them. Timings are planned around your staff event, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
Organising for someone else?
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.
Should I cook it myself?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.

Common questions in Hersham
Is Hersham close to London?
About 16 miles from central London.

The closest is Walton-On-Thames station, roughly 0.6 miles away.

Can you work around our timings?

Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
Do you provide china?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
How the day works
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. After-work summer events in Hersham have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer and 8:55pm in late May, which suits a team barbecue-style evening. By late September, sunset is around 7:05pm.

Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Share the allergen information with the team
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Add a dietary question to the sign-up
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
Afterwards we tidy up, leaving the site as we found it.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
What the cooking area needs
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A covered area or canteen for wet weather
- Someone to meet us at reception
- Clearance from the building and parked cars
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
