About our corporate hog roast in Badgers Mount
A summer party for staff in Badgers Mount does not have to mean a restaurant booking. Keep everyone on site with a hog roast. We serve salads, crackling and hog roast rolls, and typical bookings are for site openings and summer team parties.
Near Badgers Mount, workplaces can be far from shops, so a hog roast lunch is welcome. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.
About the food
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and there is a piece for everyone who wants it.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
What a hog roast costs
We work out each quote from:
- Access to the cooking area
- The journey to the venue
- Time on site
- Plates or china
UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. We quote every event individually, with everything listed.
Details that help
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- The address or postcode
- Allergies we should know about
- An estimate of numbers
- The date and time of the event

Organising for someone else?
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.
If you’re a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A contact on site
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- Somewhere for staff to eat if it rains

DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
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.
Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Ask staff about dietary needs in advance
If the schedule moves, tell us: a cooked roast can be held for a while.

The process
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. For a staff lunch in Badgers Mount, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit cooking area. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:20pm.
