Corporate hog roast in Charlwood, carved to order
For a client event, a hog roast carved by a chef makes an impression. Add china and sides for a more formal feel. Popular choices include hog roast rolls, spit-roast lamb and rotisserie chicken, and we are regularly asked to cater summer staff parties and new premises openings.
Rural businesses around Charlwood can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a hog roast lunch is welcome. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Find out how many do not eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
Give us a contact on site for the day, so we can find you quickly.
If it is a themed open day, tell us and we’ll fit in.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- Shelter for the team
- Sign-off for outside caterers
- Someone to meet us at reception
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

What happens on the day
Here’s how the day usually runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. Open days in Charlwood normally finish in daylight, but in December it is dark by about 4:00pm, so late events need lighting.

- Our chef carves and our staff serve on time.
- We tidy up and leave.
Before we arrive
