Corporate hog roast in Setley, carved to order
A summer party for staff in Setley does not have to mean a restaurant booking. A hog roast in the car park or grounds keeps everyone together. On the menu are salads, hog roast rolls and spit-roast lamb, and we’re regularly asked to cater family fun days and end-of-project celebrations.
Near Setley, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a hog roast a real treat. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

- Numbers

- A picture of the cooking area

Working with your venue
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Looking after everyone
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, for the alternatives
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Share the allergen information with the team
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the site clean.
Salads and coleslaw make it a fuller lunch.
Questions from Setley
Do you cater at venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Is Setley too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you serve a fixed lunch break?
Give us your break time and numbers and we will plan around them.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your staff will want somewhere dry to eat.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We will bring the rest.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a photo if you are unsure.
Where on site can you cook?
A car park, yard or grounds usually works, given level ground and clearance.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
A hog roast compared with other options

About the food
Spit-roast lamb
With lamb as well, there are two roasts to choose from, which suits bigger events.
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.

Full catering or machine hire?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.

How it works
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. Lunchtime bookings in Setley are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 4:00pm, so evening events need a lit cooking area. Summer events have daylight until around 9:25pm.
