Corporate hog roast for Blackthorn
Corporate hog roast in Blackthorn, carved to order
A hog roast brings lunch to the workplace. We roast on site in Blackthorn through the morning and carve at the time you set. On the menu are rotisserie chicken, spit-roast lamb and crackling, and typical bookings are for project wrap-ups and family fun days.
For farms and rural sites near Blackthorn, a hog roast brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Tell us about access. Our chef carves in front of your staff, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

What else we do in Blackthorn
How we price a hog roast for your team
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Menu choices and extras
- How many people are eating
- Plates or china
- The journey to the venue
Travel matters for the price: travel is included in your quote, with any London charges listed. Give us the address for an accurate figure.
What to tell us
Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- What the outdoor space is like
- Allergies we should know about
- The date and time of the event
Send us the date, the address or OX25 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time. We will confirm availability and send a price. Use our quote form.
What we serve, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, served in a roll with salads.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
