How our corporate hog roast works in Ridgewood
A carving station gives a client event a sense of occasion. With china and sides, it becomes a proper meal. We serve hog roast rolls, spit-roast lamb and crackling, and we’re regularly asked to cater staff summer days and open days and family days.
Around Ridgewood, teams work at farms, workshops and units. It works at any of them. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Your questions about a hog roast for your team in Ridgewood
Could you cook in Hempstead Meadow?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
How far is Ridgewood from London?
Roughly 38 miles from the centre of London.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Do you come to Ridgewood?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Ridgewood and the rest of East Sussex included. Send us the address for a quote.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Where does the hog roast go?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue run by staff, nobody from the team is stuck cooking. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
Why book our hog roast in Ridgewood
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to

- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
See our prices page and the cost guide.
Full catering or machine hire?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
How the day works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. After-work summer events in Ridgewood have light until about 9:15pm at midsummer and 8:50pm in late May, so an after-work hog roast works well in summer. In late September, the light goes at about 7:05pm.

- We check with facilities and quote.
- We roast on site.
- Service is fast once we carve.
- We leave the site clean.
Before we arrive
