How our corporate hog roast works in Padworth
Sites generally have rules for outside caterers: access, gas cooking and the cooking area. Pass on your site’s requirements. Typical bookings include long-service celebrations and end-of-project celebrations, serving coleslaw, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken.
At country workplaces around Padworth, we can cook in the yard. Let us know about tracks and gates. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish before booking.

Your questions about a hog roast for your team in Padworth
Could you cook in Padworth Common Local Nature Reserve?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Is Padworth 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.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
What about family fun days?
Open days are a great fit, with alternatives for everyone.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
Do you need power or water?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Rotisserie chicken
For staff who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children normally like it too.
Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the site as we found it.
China crockery is available for client events.
How the day works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. Your staff will smell it long before they see it. Evening staff events in Padworth need light after sunset: sunset ranges from about 9:25pm in June to 4:00pm in December.
- You send us the site address, date, numbers and serving window.
- We check site access and send a price.
- On the day we set up and roast through the morning.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve to your timings.
- We pack away and leave the site as we found it.
How to prepare
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand

How we price a hog roast for your team
We work out each quote from:
- How long the roast and service take
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Numbers
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups normally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Details that help
To get the best quote, tell us:
- What the outdoor space is like
- The date and time of the event
- Rough numbers
- Any dietary needs or allergies
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so it is easy to compare like for like. Use our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Should I cook it myself?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
What the cooking area needs
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- Somewhere to park our vehicle
- Clearance from the building and parked cars
- Sign-off for outside caterers
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
