Corporate hog roast in Chalton
Should I cook it myself?
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.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
About our corporate hog roast in Chalton
A corporate hog roast feeds a team without anyone leaving site. We set up in a car park, yard or courtyard in Chalton, roast through the morning and carve at the time you set. For team treats and customer days, we will put together a menu of halloumi skewers, coleslaw and crackling.
At country workplaces around Chalton, we can cook in the yard. Tell us about access. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.
Working with your venue
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
