Corporate hog roast in Bowlhead Green, carved to order
A hog roast brings lunch to the workplace. We set up in a car park, yard or courtyard in Bowlhead Green, roast through the morning and serve at your lunch break. We are often asked to cater summer staff parties and milestone celebrations, serving rotisserie chicken, salads and hog roast rolls.
Near Bowlhead Green, workplaces can be far from shops, so a hog roast lunch is welcome. Timings are planned around your staff event, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. Your staff will smell it long before they see it. Open days in Bowlhead Green usually finish in daylight, but in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so late events need lighting.

Working with your venue
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
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.
Catered or do it yourself?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will 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 normally easier.
Before you choose a spot
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- Level hardstanding or lawn
- Someone to meet us at reception
- Somewhere for staff to eat if it rains
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Can you send documents for facilities?
