Is a hog roast right for your staff event?
Next to sandwich platters, hot carved pork feels much more special. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Why us?
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Carved by our chef in front of your staff

How it works
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. After-work summer events in Chapel Row have light until about 9:25pm at midsummer and 8:55pm in late May, so an after-work hog roast works well in summer. In late September, the light goes at about 7:10pm.
- We start with the site, date, numbers and lunch break.
- We check site access and send a price.
- We arrive in good time and start the roast under cover.
- We serve quickly within your break.
- We pack away and leave the site as we found it.
