Corporate hog roast for Monkhams
Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
- Find out how many do not eat pork, for the alternatives
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
On the day, we arrive early and set up where agreed, then roast through the morning.
China crockery is available for client events, quoted separately.
Corporate hog roast in Monkhams, carved to order
A summer party for staff in Monkhams does not have to mean a restaurant booking. A hog roast in the car park or grounds keeps everyone together. Whether it is retirements and long-service awards and open days and family days, we’ll put together a menu of spit-roast lamb, hog roast rolls and crackling.
For offices in and around Monkhams, the roaster usually goes in a car park, yard or courtyard, if the building allows gas cooking. Facilities teams typically need to approve gas equipment and access. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.

Full catering or machine hire?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
For event organisers in Monkhams
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We will keep everyone in the loop.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
FAQs for Monkhams
What if our house in Monkhams has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard typically works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Can you do a hog roast in The Highams Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Can a company book?
Get in touch with your details, and the quote will include the terms.
What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your staff will want somewhere dry to eat.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Is a hog roast smart enough for clients?
Yes. Add china, sides and a second roast for a more formal feel.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a restaurant outing, a hog roast is easier to organise and keeps people together. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups usually cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
Why us?
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside

How it works

A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Send us the site, date, numbers and break time.
- We check access and gas rules and quote.
- The roast starts early on site.
- We serve within your break.
- We pack away and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
