Corporate hog roast in Standford
What comes off the roaster
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some staff will be vegetarian, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
About our corporate hog roast in Standford
Long-service awards, retirements and site openings in Standford all suit a hog roast, as a thank-you to the team. Typical bookings include client and customer events and summer staff parties, serving hog roast rolls, coleslaw and halloumi skewers.
For farms and rural sites near Standford, we can cook in the yard. Tell us about access. Our chef carves in front of your staff, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.
Standford questions
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Which station is closest to Standford?
Liphook station, about 2.9 miles south-east of the centre.
Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Can you serve a fixed lunch break?
Give us your break time and numbers and we will plan around them.
Is mains power needed?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
What paperwork do you provide for our site?
Requirements vary: pass on your list and we will respond.
Do you need a car park?
Most car parks and yards are fine, if there’s a level spot away from buildings and vehicles.
What do you need from us on the day?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
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. In Standford, summer evenings stay light until about 9:20pm, so an after-work hog roast works well in summer. By late September, sunset is around 7:05pm.
- Tell us where, when, how many and when you eat.
- We check access and gas rules and quote.
- We set up early and roast through the morning.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve on time.
- We tidy up and leave.
Preparing for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Give us final numbers a week or so before

For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We’ll keep you both updated.
Space, access and the venue
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Before booking, check:
- A covered area or canteen for wet weather
- A named contact for the day
- Sign-off for outside caterers

Catered or do it yourself?

DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
What affects the price in Standford
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- The number of people
- Menu choices and extras
- How long the roast and service take
- Distance from us
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
What we need to know
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- The venue or postcode
- Your date and serving time
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Which meats and sides you’d like
To get a quote, just tell us the date, where the staff event is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Fill in our quote form.
