Is a hog roast right for your staff event?
Next to 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.
Why us?
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- An itemised quote
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Sides to make it a full meal

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some staff will be vegetarian, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
