About our corporate hog roast in Bullingstone
Sites normally have rules for outside caterers: access, gas cooking and the cooking area. Pass on your site’s requirements. For retirements and long-service awards and milestone celebrations, we’ll put together a menu of halloumi skewers, spit-roast lamb and salads and more.
Near Bullingstone, workplaces can be far from shops, so a hog roast lunch is welcome. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before you book.

What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, roasted until golden.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Working with your venue
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
How it works
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. The smell generally brings people over long before we carve. If your staff event in Bullingstone runs into the evening, check the light: sunset ranges from about 9:20pm in June to 3:55pm in December.

What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A contact on site
- Clearance from the building and parked cars
- A level spot in the car park, yard or grounds
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
