Corporate hog roast in Abshot, carved to order
Open days and family fun days need food that copes with a crowd. A hog roast does exactly that, with our staff serving and clearing. We are frequently asked to cater new premises openings and away days, serving rotisserie chicken, hog roast rolls and spit-roast lamb.
Near Abshot, workplaces can be far from shops, so a hog roast lunch is welcome. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a plated lunch, a hog roast is relaxed and typically better value. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
Why book with us
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Our staff serve and clear
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Cooked on the day, low and slow

Abshot: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Abshot?
Swanwick station, about 2 miles north of the centre.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Is there a non-pork option?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
Can you do a hog roast for a client event?
With china and sides, it works well for clients.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Can you feed everyone in a short break?
We plan the roast around your break. Rolls are the fastest way to serve.
How long does the roast need?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. You will know our arrival time in advance.
The menu, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, with gluten-free rolls on request.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
