Corporate hog roast for Langley Common
How our corporate hog roast works in Langley Common
From a small team to a whole site, we size the roast to your numbers. Give us numbers and timings and we will quote. We’re often asked to cater retirements and long-service awards and site open days, with rotisserie chicken, coleslaw and halloumi skewers.
Near Langley Common, workplaces can be far from shops, so a hog roast lunch is welcome. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.
Prices and what affects them
We work out each quote from:
- How long the roast and service take
- Numbers
- Distance from us
- How easy it is to reach the spot
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Details that help
These are the details we need:
- Roughly how many people
- A photo of the cooking area
- The date and time of the event
- Anything the venue has asked for
Not sure how many to cater for? Give us your best estimate and we will quote on that, and you can confirm nearer the time. Send us your details through our quote form.
Your questions about a hog roast for your team in Langley Common
Do you come out to small places like Langley Common?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Langley Common close to London?
About 35 miles from central London.
Can you serve a fixed lunch break?
Yes. We time the roast to be ready and serve quickly. Rolls keep service quick.
Can it be more formal?
It can be dressed up, with plates or china.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
What about staff who don’t eat pork?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat.
Do you need a car park?
A car park, yard or grounds generally works, given level ground and clearance.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Working with your venue
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
A closer look at the menu
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, perfect for eating on the move. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.

A hog roast or other catering?
Next to sandwich platters, hot carved pork feels much more special. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
