Slow-roasted pork in Charcott
Corporate hog roast in Charcott, slow-roasted on site
Instead of booking a restaurant, bring the food to the team. A hog roast in the car park or grounds keeps everyone together. Whether it is long-service celebrations and client and customer events, we can cook spit-roast lamb, crackling and salads.
Near Charcott, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a hog roast a real treat. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish before you book.
What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
For staff who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
