Corporate hog roast in Water Stratford, carved to order
For a client event, a hog roast carved by a chef makes an impression. Add china and sides for a more formal feel. We’re often asked to cater new premises openings and away days, with halloumi skewers, coleslaw and crackling.
Rural businesses around Water Stratford can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, which makes a hog roast a real treat. Timings are planned around your staff event, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Questions from Water Stratford
Is Water Stratford close to London?
Roughly 54 miles from the centre of London.
Is Water Stratford too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
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.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your staff event for a quote.
Can a company book?
Let us know your company’s booking requirements, and we will explain the booking terms.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.

Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
Give us a contact on site for the day.
Salads and coleslaw make it a fuller lunch.
