How our corporate hog roast works in Blendon
A carving station gives a client event a sense of occasion. Add china and sides for a more formal feel. Whether it is retirements and long-service awards and client hospitality, we can cook coleslaw, crackling and rotisserie chicken and more.
London work events in Blendon frequently run to a tight lunch break, so we plan the roast and service around it. Let us know about access and site rules. The carving happens right in front of your staff, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

- Shelter for the team

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
