How our corporate hog roast works in Oakley

Rural businesses around Oakley can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, which makes a hog roast a real treat. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Should I cook it myself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
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.
FAQs for Oakley
Is Oakley too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How far is Oakley from London?
About 47 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Do you need a car park?
Wherever your facilities team agrees, as long as it is outdoors.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Send us the details and we will quote.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Your staff will want somewhere dry to eat.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
DIY machine hire is available. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
How we price a hog roast for your team
The price comes down to:
- Crockery choices
- The journey to the venue
- How many people are eating
- How long the roast and service take
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
What we need to know
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:
- Your date and serving time
- An estimate of numbers
- The venue or postcode
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time. We’ll check the date and send a quote. Send us your details through our quote form.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
- Ask staff about dietary needs in advance
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
Afterwards we tidy up, and leave the site clean.
If it’s a themed open day, tell us and we will fit in.
