Questions from Pyrford
Do you cater at venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Could you cook in White Rose Lane?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you feed everyone in a short break?
Yes. We time the roast to be ready and serve quickly. Rolls are the fastest way to serve.
How do we book for a business?
Contact us with your details, and the quote will include the terms.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you are not left with the mess.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will check it with you before booking.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You will get allergen details for everything.
Corporate hog roast for your staff event in Pyrford
Most teams have a set break, so we plan the roast to be ready on time and serve quickly. Rolls keep service fast. We serve coleslaw, rotisserie chicken and crackling, and we’re regularly asked to cater milestone celebrations and team-building days.
Around Pyrford, teams work at farms, workshops and units. It works at any of them. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish before booking.
The process
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your staff will smell it long before they see it. Daytime open days in Pyrford are rarely affected by light, though in winter it is dark by about 3:55pm, so late events need lighting.
- We start with the site, date, numbers and lunch break.
- You get a check on the date and the site, and a quote.
- We arrive in good time and start the roast under cover.
- The team carves and serves on time.
- We tidy up and leave the site clean.
Preparing for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking

Is a hog roast right for your staff event?
Next to a plated lunch, it is less formal and normally costs less. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

Take a look at how we price and what a hog roast costs.
Prices and what affects them
There’s no fixed price list, because every staff event is different. The main factors are:
- Travel to Pyrford
- Menu choices and extras
- Site access
- Plates or china
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups typically cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Details that help
Here’s what we will ask:
- Rough numbers
- Dietary requirements
- A picture of the cooking area
- Your menu choices
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the staff event is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Fill in our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
We set up on the agreed spot, often first thing, then roast through the morning.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
What comes off the roaster
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: golden, crunchy and salty.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Planning the cooking spot
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Ideally:
- A covered area or canteen for wet weather
- Clearance from the building and parked cars
- Somewhere to park our vehicle
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
