Your questions about a hog roast for your team in Sherfield English
Which station is closest to Sherfield English?
The closest is Mottisfont & Dunbridge station, roughly 2.9 miles away.
Do you come out to small places like Sherfield English?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll check it with you before booking.
Can you send documents for facilities?
Tell us what your site asks for, and we will tell you what we can send.
Can you set up in our car park?
A car park, yard or grounds normally works, if there is a level spot away from buildings and vehicles.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
What’s included?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.

Planning help
Should I cook it myself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Is a hog roast right for your staff event?
Next to taking the team out, a hog roast is easier to organise and keeps people together. Travel matters for the price: we include travel in the quote. Tell us the exact address so the quote is accurate.

Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
We serve on time, so people get back to work on time.
A second meat gives the team a choice.
