How our corporate hog roast works in Wickham
For a staff day in Wickham, a hog roast is a crowd-pleaser: quick to serve, easy to eat standing up and enjoyed by most people. Chicken, lamb and vegetarian options cover everyone else. We are often asked to cater site openings and long-service celebrations, with spit-roast lamb, halloumi skewers and crackling.
Work events near Wickham might be at a farm business, a workshop or an industrial unit. It works at any of them. You will know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

Wickham questions
Which station is closest to Wickham?
Fareham station, about 3.2 miles south of the centre.
How far is Wickham from London?
Roughly 63 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We will bring the rest.
Can you work to our lunch time?
Tell us the numbers and the time and we will make it work.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
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.
Full catering or machine hire?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
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.
What happens on the day
We work to your timings. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so keep us posted on the day. If your staff event in Wickham runs into the evening, check the light: sunset ranges from about 9:20pm in June to 4:00pm in December.
- Send us the site, date, numbers and break time.
- We confirm the site details and send a price.
- We set up early and roast through the morning.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve on time.
- We pack away and go.
Before we arrive
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
