About our corporate hog roast in Lower Bourne

For businesses around Lower Bourne, a staff lunch in the yard is easy to arrange. Let us know about the site. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
For event organisers in Lower Bourne
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.

Your questions about a hog roast for your team in Lower Bourne
Is Lower Bourne close to London?
Roughly 37 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
How do we prepare?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we will check.
What comes with the hog roast?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
What the cooking area needs
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- A safe distance from walls and vehicles
- Level hardstanding or lawn
- Your site’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

Catered or do it yourself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it’s needed, which keeps it hot and moist.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
What a hog roast costs
The biggest factors are:
- Travel to Lower Bourne
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Site access
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
Details that help
Here’s what we will ask:
- The venue or postcode
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- What the outdoor space is like
- Rough numbers

A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a staff barbecue, nobody from the team is stuck cooking. The main driver is numbers: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
