About our corporate hog roast in Bakers Arms
For a client event, a hog roast carved by a chef makes an impression. With china and sides, it becomes a proper meal. We serve halloumi skewers, salads and crackling, and we’re regularly asked to cater site openings and team treats.
For offices in and around Bakers Arms, the roaster generally goes in a car park, yard or courtyard, if the building allows gas cooking. Facilities teams generally need to approve gas equipment and access. The carving happens right in front of your staff, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
