Corporate hog roast for your staff event in Bursledon
Staff days in Bursledon work well with a hog roast: quick to serve, easy to eat standing up and enjoyed by most people. There are choices for people who don’t eat pork. We’re frequently asked to cater end-of-project celebrations and away days, with halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and salads.
For businesses around Bursledon, a staff lunch in the yard is easy to arrange. Let us know about the site. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, for the alternatives
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
- Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
We serve on time, so people get back to work on time.

How it works
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. After-work summer events in Bursledon have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer and 8:55pm in late May, so an after-work hog roast works well in summer. By late September, sunset is around 7:10pm.

Why choose a hog roast in Bursledon?
Next to a staff barbecue, nobody from the team is stuck cooking. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Why us?

About the food
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there is a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so everyone has something hot.
Full catering or machine hire?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.

Here’s what affects the price:
- The journey to the venue
- Time on site

Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A level spot in the car park, yard or grounds
- A safe distance from walls and vehicles
- A contact on site
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
