Corporate hog roast for Shere
About the food
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal, especially at a sit-down event.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.

For a staff lunch in Shere, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit cooking area. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.

Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Time on site
- Travel to Shere
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Numbers
Travel matters for the price: we include travel in the quote. Give us the address so the quote is accurate.
What to tell us
For a quick, accurate price, tell us:
- What the outdoor space is like
- The address or postcode
- Anything the venue has asked for
- An estimate of numbers
Every staff event is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your staff event: fill in our quote form.
Full catering or machine hire?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
