Corporate hog roast for your staff event in Blackstone
At an open day, you need food that serves plenty of people quickly. A hog roast does exactly that, with our staff serving and clearing. On the menu are salads, spit-roast lamb and halloumi skewers, and we’re regularly asked to cater away days and retirement do’s.

What affects the price in Blackstone
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- The journey to the venue
- Which meats and sides you choose
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Crockery choices
A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Any venue rules
- An estimate of numbers
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- A picture of the cooking area
When you’re weighing up caterers, ask each one exactly what’s included. Ours lists it clearly. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb on the spit roasts gently for hours, and it is carved the same way.
Questions from Blackstone
How far is Blackstone from London?
Roughly 40 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Do we need to provide electricity?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we will talk you through it.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Can it be more formal?
With china and sides, it works well for clients.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a plated lunch, it’s less formal and normally costs less. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why us?
- Served at the time you choose
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Crackling for everyone who wants it

Catered or do it yourself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; 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 weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.

- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
