About our corporate hog roast in Blissford
Workplaces have rules, and we work to them: access, gas cooking and the cooking area. Tell us what your facilities team needs. On the menu are crackling, salads and halloumi skewers, and we are frequently booked for long-service celebrations and end-of-project celebrations.
Rural businesses around Blissford can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a hog roast lunch is welcome. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish before you book.
What affects the price in Blissford
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Site access
- Time on site
- How many people are eating
- Menu choices and extras
Distance is part of the price: we include travel in the quote. Tell us the exact address for an accurate figure.
What to tell us
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- Allergies we should know about
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Your menu choices
- Anything the venue has asked for
When you are weighing up caterers, ask each one exactly what’s included. We spell it out in ours. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
Catered or do it yourself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.

Questions from Blissford
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Is Blissford too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We will be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will fit around changes.
What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Can you serve a fixed lunch break?
Yes. We time the roast to be ready and serve quickly. Rolls keep service quick.
Can it be more formal?
Yes. Add china, sides and a second roast for a more formal feel.
Do you come to Blissford?
Yes, Blissford is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will check the date.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
The process
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Lunchtime bookings in Blissford are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 4:05pm, so plan lighting for later events. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:25pm.

What else we do in Blissford
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with sandwich platters, hot carved pork feels much more special. For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What you get with us
- Served at the time you choose
- A clear quote with everything listed
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Carved by our chef in front of your staff

For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We will keep everyone in the loop.
