Corporate hog roast in Littlestead Green, slow-roasted on site

Rural businesses around Littlestead Green can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, which makes a hog roast a real treat. The hog is roasted on site at your staff event, low and slow, for hours.

How it works
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. For a staff lunch in Littlestead Green, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for later events. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:25pm.
- Contact us with the basics.

- We arrive and set up under cover.
- Service is fast once we carve.
- We clear up afterwards.
How to prepare
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

Should I cook it myself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.

Your questions about a hog roast for your team in Littlestead Green
Do you come out to small places like Littlestead Green?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Which station is closest to Littlestead Green?
Reading station, about 2.3 miles south-west of the centre.

With china and sides, it works well for clients.
What’s the price?

Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Can you send documents for facilities?
Requirements vary: send us the checklist and we will reply.
Do we need to provide electricity?

The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat is not something we offer.
How we price a hog roast for your team

- The serving time and how long we are on site
- The date and time of year
Travel matters for the price: travel is included in your quote, with any London charges listed. Give us the address for an accurate figure.
Getting an accurate quote
Here’s what we will ask:
- Your menu choices
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Rough numbers
- Rules from the venue or landowner
Every staff event is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your staff event for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.
Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
If the schedule moves, tell us: a cooked roast can be held for a while.
Ask about china for a more formal lunch, quoted separately.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
