Our hog roast service in Staines-upon-Thames
Staines-upon-Thames sits on the river at the far north-western edge of Surrey, just inside the M25 and a short hop from Heathrow. It was part of Middlesex until 1965, and it still has the feel of a busy outer-London town: a large shopping centre, a substantial office base, riverside walks and plenty of commuters. The Colne joins the Thames here, and the meadows at Runnymede lie just upstream.
We cater hog roasts and BBQs across Staines and the rest of Spelthorne, including Ashford, Laleham, Shepperton, Stanwell and Sunbury. It's the complete service: cooked on site, carved to order, served by our team and cleared away at the end.
We cater across Staines-upon-Thames as part of our hog roast catering in Surrey. For the full picture of how we work, see our full-service hog roasts page.
Where we cater in Staines-upon-Thames
Corporate events are a big part of Staines. The town has a lot of offices, including company headquarters drawn by its closeness to Heathrow and the M25, and staff summer parties, family days and Christmas events are all common requests. Riverside settings add an extra option for team events in good weather.
Privately, riverside gardens along the Thames at Laleham and Staines, family homes in Ashford and Stanwell, and boating and rowing clubs host birthdays, anniversaries and summer parties. The river is lovely but the floodplain is real: some low-lying sites stay wet after heavy rain, and parking near the water can be tight.

Birthday party catering · Hog roasts for private partiesWhat 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
Spit-roasted whole lamb, seasoned with garlic and rosemary and carved to order. It's served with mint sauce, warm flatbreads and fresh salads — ideal when some guests don't eat pork.
A whole lamb roastBBQ options
Burgers, sausages and chicken for the meat-eaters, with halloumi, vegetable skewers and plant-based options cooked separately for everyone else.
BBQ packagesSides & salads
The sides make the meal. Choose from homemade coleslaw, mixed leaf salad, tomato and red onion salad, potato salad and pasta salad, plus fries, sweet potato fries or buttered new potatoes cooked on site. Fresh rolls, breads and a proper sauce table come as standard.
Vegetarian, vegan & dietary options
Every menu includes real vegetarian and vegan mains — halloumi, vegetable skewers, veggie burgers or plant-based sausages — cooked separately when requested and served from a labelled area. Tell us about allergies and other requirements when you enquire and we'll plan around them; our food is prepared where common allergens are handled, so we can't guarantee any dish is allergen-free.

Hog roast FAQs for Staines-upon-Thames
Do you cater offices near Heathrow and the M25 in Staines?
Yes. We work with site managers on access, parking and timings, and serve within whatever window your team has — including longer windows for shift workers.
Is Staines in your Surrey area or your London area?
Surrey — Staines has been part of Surrey since 1965. In practice it makes no difference: we cover both, and nearby parts of west London too.
Can you set up on a riverside lawn that's prone to flooding?
In summer, usually. We'll check ground conditions before the day and use a drive or hardstanding for the cooking equipment if the lawn is soft. For events near the river in wetter months, we'll agree a covered or higher-ground alternative in advance.
How much does a hog roast in Staines-upon-Thames cost?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, staffing, the service style and the venue. We don't publish fixed prices because events vary so much — our hog roast cost guide explains the factors, and a quote is free.
