Corporate hog roast in Stone, slow-roasted on site
In Stone, we cater retirements, openings and long-service celebrations, as a thank-you to the team. Popular choices include salads, spit-roast lamb and hog roast rolls, and we are regularly asked to cater new premises openings and team-building days.
For farms and rural sites near Stone, we can cook in the yard. Tell us about access. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your staff.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A covered area or canteen for wet weather
- A level spot in the car park, yard or grounds
- Access through the site gates
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.

Common questions in Stone
Can you roast near the sea around Stone?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Do you cater at venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
DIY machine hire is available. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
How much will it be?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We’ll bring the rest.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. You will get allergen details for everything.
