Our hog roast service in Stevenage
Stevenage was the first of Britain's post-war new towns, designated in 1946 and planned around self-contained neighbourhoods, a pedestrianised town centre and an extensive network of cycleways. The Old Town high street keeps the character of the original settlement on the Great North Road, and the A1(M) runs right alongside, with fast trains to King's Cross.
It's also one of the county's big employment centres, with major aerospace, defence and life-sciences employers and a growing science and technology cluster. Our hog roast Stevenage events are often large, and we staff and plan them accordingly: cooked on site, carved fresh, served quickly.
We cater across Stevenage as part of our hog roast catering in Hertfordshire. For the full picture of how we work, see our full-service hog roasts page.
Where we cater in Stevenage
Corporate events are the biggest part of our Stevenage work — summer parties, family days, project celebrations and Christmas lunches on large employment sites and business parks, often with security, inductions and strict timings. Community events fill the rest of the calendar: school fairs, club days and neighbourhood parties across Shephall, Chells, Great Ashby, Symonds Green and the Old Town.
Villages nearby, including Knebworth, Walkern, Benington and Aston, have more space for private parties and marquee weddings. Getting around Stevenage itself is easy thanks to the dual carriageways, though some neighbourhood housing has parking courts rather than driveways, so we'll check where to stop.

BBQ catering in Stevenage
Not every event suits a whole pig. For Stevenage gatherings where people want choice — office lunches, club days, parties with lots of children — our BBQ catering is often the better fit: burgers, sausages and chicken cooked to order, with vegetarian and vegan options on their own grill space.
BBQ is a strong choice for Stevenage staff days with a tight lunch hour — burgers, sausages, chicken and veggie options served fast from a second counter beside the roast.

Events we cater in Stevenage
Wedding hog roasts
Stevenage couples often marry at barns and country venues in the villages to the east and south. A hog roast gives a relaxed, generous wedding meal, and the leftover roast becomes evening rolls. We plan vegetarian and vegan dishes separately so every guest is looked after.
Catering for weddingsCorporate events
Large Stevenage employers need caterers who can handle big numbers and follow site rules. We'll supply method statements, risk assessments and allergen information, allow for security checks and inductions, and run multiple serving points so staff aren't queueing through their break.
Corporate BBQ cateringBirthday & private parties
Family birthday parties and summer get-togethers in Stevenage often mix ages, so a hog roast with a BBQ alongside works well. Where there's no garden access, we can set up at a hired hall or club ground instead.
Milestone birthday catering · Private party cateringWhat we cook
Pork hog roast
The classic. A whole pig roasts slowly for hours until the meat is tender and the skin has turned to crackling, then we carve it to order — into soft rolls with stuffing and apple sauce, or onto plates with salads and potatoes.
View our hog roast menuLamb roast
A whole lamb on the spit gives the same sense of occasion as a hog roast with a lighter, herby feel. Serve it in flatbreads with minted yoghurt, or plated with potatoes and gravy.
Spit-roast lambBBQ options
Beef burgers, pork sausages, marinated and BBQ-glazed chicken, veggie burgers, halloumi and plant-based sausages — pick three or four and we'll handle the rest.
BBQ packagesSides & salads
Most Stevenage events pick two to four sides. Summer menus lean towards coleslaw, leaf salads, tomatoes and potato salad; evening and winter events tend to want fries, sweet potato fries or new potatoes. We bring the breads, rolls and sauces too.
Vegetarian, vegan & dietary options
Most Stevenage events have guests who don't eat pork, and many have vegetarians, vegans and people with allergies. We cook meat-free dishes separately when asked, label every dish, and can build a pork-free menu around lamb or the BBQ. Our allergen information explains what we can and can't guarantee.

Hog roast FAQs for Stevenage
Can you cater a large staff event at a secure site in Stevenage?
Yes. Send us the site's requirements — vehicle registrations, inductions, paperwork — and we'll arrange everything in advance and build time for security into our arrival.
Our Stevenage house has a parking court, not a drive. Can you still cater?
Usually. We'll check how close we can park and the route to your garden. We can unload in the court and carry equipment through, or use a compact BBQ set-up.
Do you cover Knebworth and the villages around Stevenage?
Yes — Knebworth, Walkern, Benington, Aston, Codicote and the surrounding villages.
Do you only do hog roasts, or can we have a BBQ in Stevenage?
Both, and lamb too. Plenty of Stevenage events have a BBQ on its own or alongside the hog roast. Have a look at the BBQ menu for ideas.
