DIY versus a catered hog roast
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
How our corporate hog roast works in Ashampstead Green
A corporate hog roast feeds a team without anyone leaving site. We set up in a car park, yard or courtyard in Ashampstead Green, roast through the morning and carve at the time you set. On the menu are spit-roast lamb, hog roast rolls and crackling, and we’re often booked for team-building days and site openings.
Rural businesses around Ashampstead Green can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a hog roast lunch is welcome. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat.

Next to sandwich platters, hot carved pork feels much more special. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
