How our corporate hog roast works in South Merstham
Instead of booking a restaurant, bring the food to the team. Keep everyone on site with a hog roast. Whether it’s milestone celebrations and new premises openings, we’ll put together a menu of spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken and crackling for your staff.
For businesses around South Merstham, a staff lunch in the yard is easy to arrange. Tell us about the site and access. Timings are planned around your staff event, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
Allergies and dietary needs
Some staff will not eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, for the alternatives
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
We set up on the agreed spot, often first thing, and the roast cooks through the morning.
Ask about china for a more formal lunch, quoted separately.

Common questions in South Merstham
How far is South Merstham from London?
Roughly 17 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you cater at venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Can you serve a fixed lunch break?
Tell us the numbers and the time and we’ll plan around them.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Your staff will want somewhere dry to eat.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Full catering or machine hire?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
The menu, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, carved to order at the serving station, often with mint sauce.

- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
