Corporate hog roast for Chawley
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Corporate hog roast for your staff event in Chawley
At an open day, you need food that serves plenty of people quickly. A hog roast does exactly that, with our staff serving and clearing. We’re often asked to cater project wrap-ups and team days and away days, with halloumi skewers, spit-roast lamb and rotisserie chicken.
At country workplaces around Chawley, we can cook in the yard. Tell us about access. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish.

Step by step
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Lunchtime bookings in Chawley are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit cooking area. Summer events have daylight until around 9:25pm.

Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
- Find out how many don’t eat pork, for the alternatives
We serve on time, so people get back to work on time.
A second meat gives the team a choice.
What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes to make it a proper meal, especially at a sit-down event.
Working with your venue
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
