Corporate hog roast in Weston
About our corporate hog roast in Weston
For a client event, a hog roast carved by a chef makes an impression. Add china and sides for a more formal feel. We serve coleslaw, rotisserie chicken and crackling, and typical bookings are for away days and end-of-project celebrations.
Around Weston, teams work at farms, workshops and units. A hog roast suits all of them. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

Organising for someone else?
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.
Catered or do it yourself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Prices and what affects them
Your quote depends on:
- How long the roast and service take
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Numbers
- Travel to Weston
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
What to tell us
For a quick, accurate price, send us:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Any venue rules
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Rough numbers
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so it is easy to compare like for like. Send us your details through our quote form.

In Weston, summer evenings stay light until about 9:25pm, so an after-work hog roast works well in summer. By late September, sunset is around 7:10pm.

- We arrive and set up under cover.
- Service is fast once we carve.

FAQs for Weston
How far is Weston from London?
Roughly 70 miles from the centre of London.
Can you do a hog roast in Westwood Woodland Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you’re not left with the mess.
Do you serve the food?
You do not need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
