Corporate hog roast in Little London, carved to order
Sites typically have rules for outside caterers: vehicle access, gas equipment and where we can cook. Tell us what your facilities team needs. Whether it’s retirement do’s and staff summer days, we can cook salads, halloumi skewers and spit-roast lamb and more.
Rural businesses around Little London can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, which makes a hog roast a real treat. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
Full catering or machine hire?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.

Your questions about a hog roast for your team in Little London
Can you do a hog roast in Colekitchen Down?
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.
Which station is closest to Little London?
Gomshall station, about 1.6 miles north-east of the centre.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you’re not left with the mess.
What about staff who do not eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat is not something we offer.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Approval from facilities for gas equipment
- A contact on site
- A level spot in the car park, yard or grounds
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
What we serve
- Salads
- Spit-roast lamb
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Hog roast rolls
- Coleslaw
- Rotisserie chicken
- Vegan option (Ve)
- Crackling
- Halloumi skewers (V)
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
- How long the roast and service take
- Crockery choices
- The number of people
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups normally cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
Getting an accurate quote
To check the date and the space, we will need:
- Roughly how many people
