Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Share the allergen information with the team
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
Let us know about changes: we can hold the roast for a short time.
Tell us about branding or theming for open days and we will fit in.
Working with your venue
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.

What else we do in Underhill
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a formal plated lunch, it is less formal and normally costs less. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you are paying for.
Why book our hog roast in Underhill
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Carved to order by a chef
Full catering or machine hire?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
How we price a hog roast for your team
Each price is built from:
- Time on site
- Travel to Underhill
- Whether you want china
- Access to the cooking area
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
What to tell us
For a quick, accurate price, tell us:
- Your menu choices
- Where the event is
- Any venue rules
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the staff event is and roughly how many. A photo of the cooking area helps. Use our quote form.
What the cooking area needs
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- A level spot in the car park, yard or grounds
- Shelter for the team
- Access through the site gates
As a London location, Underhill is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.

The process
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. For a staff lunch in Underhill, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for later events. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
