At an open day, you need food that serves plenty of people quickly. A hog roast does exactly that, with our staff serving and clearing. For site openings and project wrap-ups, we’ll put together a menu of halloumi skewers, salads and hog roast rolls for your staff.
For farms and rural sites near Temple Ewell, we can cook in the yard. Let us know about tracks and gates. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Why book with us
- Timed around your day
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Choices for people who do not eat pork

Organising for someone else?
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
About the food
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, and it’s carved the same way.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Full catering or machine hire?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Add a dietary question to the sign-up
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
We set up on the agreed spot, frequently first thing, and the roast cooks through the morning.
Tell us about branding or theming for open days and we’ll fit in.
What affects the price in Temple Ewell
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Travel to Temple Ewell
- Plates or china
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What to tell us
Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:
- Your menu choices
- Any venue rules
- The venue or postcode
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
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. Use our quote form.
Temple Ewell: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Temple Ewell?
Kearsney station, in Temple Ewell itself.
Could you cook in Old Park Hill?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
Can you feed staff and families?
We do. Give us total numbers and we will plan for everyone.
How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will talk it through when we quote.
Can you set up in our car park?
A car park, yard or grounds typically works, if there’s a level spot away from buildings and vehicles.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
