About our corporate hog roast in Burridge
A corporate hog roast feeds a team without anyone leaving site. We roast on site in Burridge through the morning and carve at the time you set. For team days and away days and client hospitality, we’ll put together a menu of salads, hog roast rolls and coleslaw.
At country workplaces around Burridge, we can cook in the yard. Let us know about tracks and gates. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours.

These are the details we need:
- Anything the venue has asked for

Planners, venues and businesses
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
If you are a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
Catered or do it yourself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Add a dietary question to the sign-up
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
- Share the allergen information with the team
At the agreed time, our chef carves and our staff serve, keeping the queue moving.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Step by step
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. Your staff will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. In Burridge, summer evenings stay light until about 9:20pm, so an after-work hog roast works well in summer. By late September, sunset is around 7:10pm.
- Tell us where, when, how many and when you eat.
- We check access and gas rules and quote.
- The roast starts early on site.
- We serve within your break.
- We pack away and go.
How to prepare
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Name a contact for the day
