How our corporate hog roast works in Shamley Green
Open days and family fun days need food that copes with a crowd. One roast feeds a crowd, and our team serves and clears. We serve crackling, halloumi skewers and coleslaw, and we’re often booked for open days and family days and milestone celebrations.
Near Shamley Green, workplaces can be far from shops, so a hog roast lunch is welcome. Our chef carves in front of your staff, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.
The menu, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing make the roll, just as they should.
Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Share the allergen information with the team
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
We set up on the agreed spot, often first thing, and the roast cooks through the morning.

Common questions in Shamley Green
Can you do a hog roast in Cucknell's Wood?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Which station is closest to Shamley Green?
Chilworth station, about 2.1 miles north of the centre.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your staff event for a quote.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What about staff who do not eat pork?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We do not offer halal meat.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Do you need power or water?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
Should I cook it myself?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
How we price a hog roast for your team
Each price is built from:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Season and day of the week
- Crockery choices
- Numbers
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
What to tell us
To get the best quote, tell us:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Roughly how many people
- The date and time of the event
- Which meats and sides you’d like
Busy weekends book up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Tell us your date and we will check it: use our quote form.
The process
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. After-work summer events in Shamley Green have light until about 9:20pm 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.
