Corporate hog roast in Ash
Corporate hog roast in Ash, carved to order
For a client event, a hog roast carved by a chef makes an impression. With china and sides, it becomes a proper meal. For thank-you lunches and site openings, we will put together a menu of salads, rotisserie chicken and crackling for your staff.
Work events near Ash might be at a farm business, a workshop or an industrial unit. It works at any of them. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.
Catered or do it yourself?
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.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a staff barbecue, nobody from the team is stuck cooking. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.

Organising for someone else?
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep you both updated.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
The process
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day. After-work summer events in Ash have light until about 9:15pm at midsummer and 8:45pm in late May, so an after-work hog roast works well in summer. In late September, the light goes at about 7:00pm.
