How our corporate hog roast works in Pangbourne
Instead of booking a restaurant, bring the food to the team. A hog roast in the car park or grounds keeps everyone together. For site open days and long-service celebrations, we will put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, salads and crackling and more.
Teams near Pangbourne frequently go for a lunch in the yard or grounds. Tell us about the site and access. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat.

What the cooking area needs
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- Level hardstanding or lawn
- Your site’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Access through the site gates
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Working with your venue
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Find out how many do not eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Ask staff about dietary needs in advance
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
We set up on the agreed spot, frequently first thing, and the roast cooks through the morning.
Ask about china for a more formal lunch.
How we price a hog roast for your team
Each price is built from:
- Menu choices and extras
- Travel to Pangbourne
- The date and time of year
- Whether you want china
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:
- An estimate of numbers
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Where the event is
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
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. Use our quote form.
Full catering or machine hire?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Step by step
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your staff will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. For a staff lunch in Pangbourne, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit cooking area. Summer events have daylight until around 9:25pm.
- Tell us where, when, how many and when you eat.
- We confirm the site details and send a price.
- We set up early and roast through the morning.
- We serve within your break.
- We pack away and go.
How to prepare
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
