DIY versus a catered hog roast
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
About our corporate hog roast in Lingfield
Sites generally have rules for outside caterers: vehicle access, gas equipment and where we can cook. Tell us what your facilities team needs. On the menu are crackling, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for summer staff parties and thank-you lunches.

Your questions about a hog roast for your team in Lingfield
Is Lingfield close to London?
About 23 miles from central London.
Could you cook in Centenary Fields?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
Can a company book?
Send your requirements, and we will set out the terms with your quote.
How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Planning for dietary needs
Some staff will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Share the allergen information with the team
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Ask staff about dietary needs in advance
- Request gluten-free rolls
We set up on the agreed spot, often first thing, then roast through the morning.
Add rotisserie chicken or lamb for choice.
