Is a hog roast right for your staff event?
Next to a staff barbecue, everyone gets to join in. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why book our hog roast in Lightwater

About our corporate hog roast in Lightwater
From a small team to a whole site, we size the roast to your numbers. Give us numbers and timings for a quote. On the menu are crackling, salads and spit-roast lamb, and we are regularly asked to cater client hospitality and end-of-project celebrations.
Around Lightwater, teams work at farms, workshops and units. A hog roast suits all of them. The hog is roasted on site at your staff event, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your staff.
What we serve, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, in a roll, with salad on the side.
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll.
What happens on the day
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. In Lightwater, summer evenings stay light until about 9:20pm, which suits a team barbecue-style evening. By late September, sunset is around 7:05pm.

Planning help
Full catering or machine hire?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.

Lightwater questions
Can you do a hog roast in Brentmoor Heath?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
What’s the nearest station to Lightwater?
The closest is Bagshot station, roughly 1.3 miles away.
Can you work to our lunch time?
Yes. We time the roast to be ready and serve quickly. Rolls keep service quick.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
What comes with the hog roast?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
