About our corporate hog roast in Matchams
Staff days in Matchams work well with a hog roast: quick to serve, easy to eat standing up and enjoyed by most people. Chicken, lamb and vegetarian options cover everyone else. We’re frequently asked to cater client and customer events and open days and family days, serving salads, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers.
Near Matchams, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a hog roast a real treat. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

For event organisers in Matchams
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.
If you’re a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
Full catering or machine hire?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Common questions in Matchams
Could you cook in Avon Heath Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you cater at venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
What if it rains?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Do you cover Matchams?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Matchams and Hampshire. Send us the address for a quote.
