How our corporate hog roast works in Brown Candover
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 hog roast rolls, salads and coleslaw, and we are frequently booked for project wrap-ups and site openings.
For farms and rural sites near Brown Candover, a hog roast brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Let us know about tracks and gates. The carving happens right in front of your staff, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Full catering or machine hire?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Before you choose a spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- Access through the site gates
- Your site’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A named contact for the day
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
