Work events near Twyford might be at a farm business, a workshop or an industrial unit. It works at any of them. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.
Is a hog roast right for your staff event?
Compared with a barbecue run by staff, nobody from the team is stuck cooking. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Why book with us
- Served at the time you choose
- All the equipment comes with us
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it

Common questions in Twyford
Could you cook in Loddon Nature Reserve?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Is Twyford close to London?
About 33 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
Can you feed staff and families?
Yes. Give us total numbers and we will cater for all.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Planning the cooking spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- Shelter for the team
- Approval from facilities for gas equipment
- Clearance from the building and parked cars
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.

For event organisers in Twyford

How we price a hog roast for your team

- How long the roast and service take
- The number of people
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Season and day of the week
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.

Here’s what we will ask:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Anything the venue has asked for
- An estimate of numbers
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
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.
