Corporate hog roast for your staff event in Carter's Clay

Rural businesses around Carter's Clay can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a hog roast lunch is welcome. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Catered or do it yourself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Looking after everyone
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Add a dietary question to the sign-up
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
We’ll sign in and follow site rules, and keep vehicles where you ask.
China crockery is available for client events.
Working with your venue
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
