Corporate hog roast for your staff event in Rowly
A summer party for staff in Rowly does not have to mean a restaurant booking. Keep everyone on site with a hog roast. Popular choices include spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken and crackling, and typical bookings are for long-service celebrations and family fun days.
At country workplaces around Rowly, we can cook in the yard. Tell us about access. Our chef carves in front of your staff, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a plated lunch, a hog roast is relaxed and typically better value. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why Rowly hosts choose us
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside

For event organisers in Rowly
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.
What affects the price in Rowly
Your quote depends on:
- Access to the cooking area
- The number of people
- Whether you want china
- Season and day of the week
Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. Every event gets its own quote, with everything listed.

To check the date and the space, we’ll need:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Rules from the venue or landowner

Rowly questions
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Could you cook in Cucknell's Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
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 cover Rowly?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Rowly and the rest of Surrey included. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we’ll check.
Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
What comes with the hog roast?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
We set up on the agreed spot, often first thing, then roast through the morning.
Ask about china for a more formal lunch, quoted separately.
What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it is carved fresh as people come up.

The process
Here’s how the day normally runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. Open days in Rowly generally finish in daylight, but in December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so late events need lighting.
- Send us the site, date, numbers and break time.
- We check access and gas rules and quote.
- We set up early and roast through the morning.
- We serve within your break.
- We pack away and go.
How to prepare
- Let us know about tight access
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
How to get a price
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your staff event for a quote: fill in our quote form.
