Corporate hog roast in Andwell, slow-roasted on site
Staff days in Andwell 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 do not eat pork. Popular choices include halloumi skewers, crackling and spit-roast lamb, and we’re often booked for away days and client and customer events.
At country workplaces around Andwell, we can cook in the yard. Let us know about tracks and gates. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish before booking.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, for the alternatives
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
Give us a contact on site for the day, so we can find you quickly.
Ask about china for a more formal lunch, quoted separately.

Catered or do it yourself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
What a hog roast costs
Here’s what affects the price:
- Season and day of the week
- Whether you want china
- Site access
- How long the roast and service take
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
What to tell us
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:
- The venue or postcode
- The date and time of the event
- Rough numbers
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
The quickest way to get a price is to send us your date, venue and numbers. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Fill in our quote form.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a formal plated lunch, it’s less formal and normally costs less. The main driver is numbers: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why book with us
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- A clear quote with everything listed
- All the equipment comes with us
