Corporate hog roast for Broad Ford
Corporate hog roast in Broad Ford, slow-roasted on site
For a client event, a hog roast carved by a chef makes an impression. Add china and sides for a more formal feel. We’re often asked to cater open days and family days and customer days, with coleslaw, halloumi skewers and crackling.
Near Broad Ford, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a hog roast a real treat. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
A closer look at the menu
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and there’s a piece for everyone who wants it.
Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
We set up on the agreed spot, often first thing, and the roast cooks through the morning.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Is a hog roast right for your staff event?
Compared with a barbecue run by staff, nobody from the team is stuck cooking. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why us?
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- An itemised quote
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit

Should I cook it myself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
