About our corporate hog roast in Shobley
For a staff day in Shobley, a hog roast is a crowd-pleaser: quick to serve, easy to eat standing up and enjoyed by most people. There are choices for people who do not eat pork. For project wrap-ups and client hospitality, we can cook rotisserie chicken, crackling and halloumi skewers for your staff.
At country workplaces around Shobley, we can cook in the yard. Tell us about access. The carving happens right in front of your staff, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.
What happens on the day
We work to your timings. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change. After-work summer events in Shobley have light until about 9:25pm at midsummer and 8:55pm in late May, which suits a team barbecue-style evening. In late September, the light goes at about 7:10pm.

Questions from Shobley
Can you do a hog roast at a venue 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 Shobley too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you feed everyone in a short break?
Tell us the numbers and the time and we’ll plan around them.
Where on site can you cook?
A car park, yard or grounds usually works, given level ground and clearance.
What about staff who do not eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
What’s included?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we will quote.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Catered or do it yourself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
What we serve, dish by dish
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.
What a hog roast costs
The biggest factors are:
- Distance from us
- Plates or china
- Access to the cooking area
- Numbers
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Details that help
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- Your menu choices
- The venue or postcode
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Your date and serving time
Numbers not final yet? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Use our quote form.
