About our corporate hog roast in Castle Hill
A corporate hog roast feeds a team without anyone leaving site. We set up in a car park, yard or courtyard in Castle Hill, roast through the morning and carve at the time you set. Whether it is milestone celebrations and retirements and long-service awards, we can cook salads, crackling and hog roast rolls for your staff.
Near Castle Hill, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a hog roast a real treat. You’ll know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
About the food
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb is popular alongside the pork, and handy for anyone who does not eat pork.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
Step by step

What’s the price?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.

We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.

Prices and what affects them
We work out each quote from:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays

The main driver is numbers: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
