DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Corporate hog roast in Anvil Green, carved to order
For a staff day in Anvil Green, a hog roast is a crowd-pleaser: rolls are fast to serve and easy to eat. There are choices for people who do not eat pork. Typical bookings include open days and family days and new premises openings, with spit-roast lamb, salads and hog roast rolls.
Rural businesses around Anvil Green can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a hog roast lunch is welcome. Our chef carves in front of your staff, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
