About our corporate hog roast in Andover
Staff days in Andover work well with a hog roast: quick to serve, easy to eat standing up and enjoyed by most people. There are choices for people who don’t eat pork. We serve rotisserie chicken, spit-roast lamb and salads, and we’re regularly asked to cater team-building days and summer team parties.
Workplaces in Andover range from offices to industrial units. We bring lunch to the team without anyone leaving. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.
What the cooking area needs
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- Approval from facilities for gas equipment
- A safe distance from walls and vehicles
- A covered area or canteen for wet weather
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, for the alternatives
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
- Add a dietary question to the sign-up
We set up on the agreed spot, frequently first thing, then roast through the morning.
Add rotisserie chicken or lamb for choice.
The process
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell normally brings people over long before we carve.

- We clear up afterwards.
