Corporate hog roast in Borden, slow-roasted on site
Staff days in Borden work well with a hog roast: rolls are fast to serve and easy to eat. Chicken, lamb and vegetarian options cover everyone else. For family fun days and team treats, we can cook salads, rotisserie chicken and crackling for your staff.
Near Borden, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a hog roast a real treat. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will tell you what we can send.
Is a hog roast right for your staff event?
Compared with a barbecue run by staff, nobody from the team is stuck cooking. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. We quote every event individually, with everything listed.
Why us?
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Our staff serve and clear
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours

The process
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. In Borden, summer evenings stay light until about 9:20pm, which suits a team barbecue-style evening. In late September, the light goes at about 7:05pm.

A closer look at the menu
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
- Share the allergen information with the team
- Collect dietary needs when you send the invite
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
Afterwards we tidy up, and leave the site clean.
If it is a themed open day, tell us and we’ll fit in.

The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- A named contact for the day
- Level hardstanding or lawn
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
