Corporate hog roast in Chegworth
About our corporate hog roast in Chegworth
Open days and family fun days need food that copes with a crowd. A hog roast does exactly that, and our team serves and clears. For client and customer events and retirements and long-service awards, we will put together a menu of spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken and coleslaw and more.
At country workplaces around Chegworth, we can cook in the yard. Let us know about tracks and gates. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
If it is for clients, choose china, sides and lamb or chicken to make it more formal. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Why Chegworth hosts choose us
- Carved to order by a chef
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Serving and clearing done for you

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

The menu, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there is a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so everyone has something hot.
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A covered area or canteen for wet weather
- A level spot in the car park, yard or grounds
- Sign-off for outside caterers
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
