A hog roast near Benover
Corporate hog roast in Benover, slow-roasted on site
Open days and family fun days need food that copes with a crowd. A hog roast does exactly that, with our staff serving and clearing. Whether it is summer team parties and family fun days, we will put together a menu of salads, crackling and spit-roast lamb for your staff.
At country workplaces around Benover, a hog roast brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Let us know about tracks and gates. The carving happens right in front of your staff, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- Clearance from the building and parked cars
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- Level hardstanding or lawn

- Access to the cooking area
- Menu choices and extras
- How long the roast and service take

What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.

We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Where the event is
- A picture of the cooking area
- An estimate of numbers

Planning for dietary needs

- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Put the allergen list where people can see it

Catered or do it yourself?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Step by step
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. If your staff event in Benover runs into the evening, check the light: about 9:15pm in June, 7:00pm in late September and 3:50pm in December.
