Slow-roasted pork in Capel
Corporate hog roast in Capel, carved to order
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. Typical bookings include retirements and long-service awards and team-building days, serving coleslaw, hog roast rolls and spit-roast lamb.
Near Capel, workplaces can be far from shops, so a hog roast lunch is welcome. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Share the allergen information with the team
Afterwards we tidy up, leaving the site as we found it.
If it’s a themed open day, tell us.

What affects the price in Capel
Each price is built from:
- The number of people
- Crockery choices
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Travel to Capel
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups normally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

- Anything the venue has asked for

Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Flat ground in a car park or courtyard
- Your site’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

Catered or do it yourself?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
FAQs for Capel
Which station is closest to Capel?

Is Capel too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.

It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Can a company book?
Get in touch with your details, and we’ll set out the terms with your quote.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
