Corporate hog roast for your staff event in Appleshaw
Most teams have a set break, so we plan the roast to be ready on time. Rolls keep service fast. We are often asked to cater retirements and long-service awards and family fun days, serving salads, coleslaw and rotisserie chicken.
For farms and rural sites near Appleshaw, we can cook in the yard. Let us know about tracks and gates. 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.
What a hog roast costs
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- The journey to the venue
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Crockery choices
- The number of people
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What to tell us
For a quick, accurate price, tell us:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- What the outdoor space is like
- Where the event is
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the staff event is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Send us your details through our quote form.
