Corporate hog roast for Hitchambury
How our corporate hog roast works in Hitchambury
A hog roast brings lunch to the workplace. We roast on site in Hitchambury through the morning and serve at your lunch break. We are often asked to cater milestone celebrations and thank-you lunches, with hog roast rolls, salads and halloumi skewers.
At country workplaces around Hitchambury, we can cook in the yard. Let us know about tracks and gates. The carving happens right in front of your staff, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
How it works
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. For a staff lunch in Hitchambury, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit cooking area. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:25pm.
- We start with the site, date, numbers and lunch break.
- You get a check on the date and the site, and a quote.
- We set up early and get the hog roasting.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve to your timings.
- We tidy up and leave the site clean.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
Ask for a quote
We price every booking individually, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Ask us for a quote for your staff event: use our quote form.

What to look for in a quote
- Allergen information for every dish
- Arrival time and how long the roast needs
- The space, cover and access they need
- When payments are due and what happens if plans change
Full catering or machine hire?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Prices and what affects them
We do not use a fixed price list, because every staff event is different. The main factors are:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Distance from us
- How many people are eating
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
What we need to know
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- Your date and serving time
- Where the event is
- Allergies we should know about
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
It is easy to get a price: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. You’ll get a clear quote listing what’s included. Use our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We’ll fit in with site rules.
Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Find out how many do not eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Add a dietary question to the sign-up
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Share the allergen information with the team
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the site as we found it.
A second meat gives the team a choice.
Questions from Hitchambury
Which station is closest to Hitchambury?
Taplow station, about 0.8 miles south of the centre.
Do you come out to small places like Hitchambury?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Where on site can you cook?
Anywhere suitable and approved, outdoors and under cover.
What will our facilities team need?
Tell us what your site asks for, and we will tell you what we can send.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so tell us your best estimate. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
A hog roast or other catering?
If it is for clients, add china, sides and a second roast for a more polished feel. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
