How our corporate hog roast works in Burham
At an open day, you need food that serves plenty of people quickly. A hog roast does exactly that, with our staff serving and clearing. Whether it’s staff summer days and launch days, we can cook rotisserie chicken, crackling and halloumi skewers for your staff.

Space, access and the venue
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- A named contact for the day
- Your site’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A level spot in the car park, yard or grounds
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

What a hog roast costs
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- The date and time of year
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- How long the roast and service take
- Plates or china
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
What we need to know
To check the date and the space, we will need:
- A picture of the cooking area
- The address or postcode
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Busy weekends book up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Tell us your date and we will check it: send us your details through our quote form.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
For client events, add china, sides and a second roast for a more polished feel. For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why book with us
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours

The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it is needed, which keeps it hot and moist right to the last roll.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
- Collect dietary needs when you send the invite
- Find out how many do not eat pork, for the alternatives
- Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
Give us a contact on site for the day, so we can find you quickly.
If it’s a themed open day, tell us and we’ll fit in.
