About our corporate hog roast in Brattle
Instead of booking a restaurant, bring the food to the team. Keep everyone on site with a hog roast. We are often asked to cater site open days and launch days, serving spit-roast lamb, crackling and rotisserie chicken.
Near Brattle, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a hog roast a real treat. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish.
A closer look at the menu
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness are the traditional pairing. Note that stuffing typically contains gluten.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a formal plated lunch, it’s less formal and normally costs less. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

Catered or do it yourself?
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.
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.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
