The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some staff will be vegetarian, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
How our corporate hog roast works in Blackmoor
For a staff day in Blackmoor, a hog roast is a crowd-pleaser: rolls are fast to serve and easy to eat. There are choices for people who do not eat pork. Whether it’s summer team parties and long-service celebrations, we can cook crackling, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken and more.
Near Blackmoor, workplaces can be far from shops, so a hog roast lunch is welcome. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
Step by step
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. For a staff lunch in Blackmoor, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 4:00pm, so plan lighting for later events. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Start with the date, site and numbers.
- We check with facilities and quote.
- We roast on site.
- Service is fast once we carve.
- We leave the site clean.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains

Blackmoor questions
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is Blackmoor too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. You will get allergen details for everything.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Is a hog roast smart enough for clients?
It can be dressed up, depending on the crockery and menu.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Can you send documents for facilities?
Requirements vary: pass on your list and we’ll respond.
A hog roast or other catering?
If it’s for clients, choose china, sides and lamb or chicken to make it more formal. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
What you get with us
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Carved to order by a chef
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork

Full catering or machine hire?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Perfect for your staff event in Blackmoor
