Corporate hog roast for your staff event in Longford
Lunch breaks are frequently fixed, so the roast is timed to the minute. Rolls keep service fast. We serve rotisserie chicken, spit-roast lamb and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for away days and open days and family days.
Near Longford, workplaces can be far from shops, so a hog roast lunch is welcome. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
If it is for clients, add china, sides and a second roast for a more polished feel. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Why book with us
- Timed around your day
- An itemised quote
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- All the equipment comes with us

DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
The process
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. Your staff will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Open days in Longford usually finish in daylight, though in winter it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- Send us the site, date, numbers and break time.
- We confirm the site details and send a price.
- The roast starts early on site.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve on time.

- Distance from us
- Season and day of the week
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

Common questions in Longford
Is Longford too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you do a hog roast in Arthur Jacob Nature Reserve?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
Can you cater in Longford?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Longford and the rest of Slough included. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
What paperwork do you provide for our site?
Let us know your site’s requirements, and we’ll tell you what we can send.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
Do you cater open days with families?
Yes. Include visitors in your numbers and we’ll plan for everyone.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Planning for dietary needs
Some staff will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
- Ask staff about dietary needs in advance
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
We’ll sign in and follow site rules.
