What happens on the day

- You send us the site address, date, numbers and serving window.
- You get a check on the date and the site, and a quote.
- We set up early and get the hog roasting.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve to your timings.
- We pack away and leave the site as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day

Corporate hog roast in Brompton, slow-roasted on site
Open days and family fun days need food that copes with a crowd. A hog roast does exactly that, with our staff serving and clearing. Popular choices include salads, coleslaw and halloumi skewers, and we are regularly asked to cater summer staff parties and launch days.
Around Brompton, teams work at farms, workshops and units. A hog roast suits all of them. The carving happens right in front of your staff, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Ask staff about dietary needs in advance
- Share the allergen information with the team
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
We follow your site’s sign-in and safety rules, and keep vehicles where you ask.

Catered or do it yourself?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
What we serve, dish by dish
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Everything goes into a soft roll, perfect for eating on the move. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
For planners, venues and organisers
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
