About our corporate hog roast in Hollywater
Lunch breaks are often fixed, so we plan the roast to be ready on time and serve quickly. Rolls keep service fast. For thank-you lunches and new premises openings, we can cook crackling, halloumi skewers and salads.
Rural businesses around Hollywater can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, which makes a hog roast a real treat. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
What a hog roast costs
The price comes down to:
- Crockery choices
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The number of people
- How easy it is to reach the spot
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- The date and time of the event
- Any venue rules
- The address or postcode
- Your menu choices
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so you can compare caterers fairly. Fill in our quote form.
What happens on the day
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. In Hollywater, summer evenings stay light until about 9:20pm, so an after-work hog roast works well in summer. By late September, sunset is around 7:05pm.

FAQs for Hollywater
How far is Hollywater from London?
Roughly 43 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Hollywater too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Is a hog roast smart enough for clients?
It can be dressed up, depending on the crockery and menu.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we will quote.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will fit around changes.
For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.
Other occasions in Hollywater
Full catering or machine hire?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
