How our corporate hog roast works in Chilton
Instead of booking a restaurant, bring the food to the team. A hog roast in the car park or grounds keeps everyone together. We’re frequently asked to cater site openings and summer team parties, with halloumi skewers, hog roast rolls and coleslaw.
Work events near Chilton might be at a farm business, a workshop or an industrial unit. A hog roast suits all of them. Our chef carves in front of your staff, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Roast pork
We carve as we serve, so it stays hot and juicy.
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Should I cook it myself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Is a hog roast right for your staff event?
Next to sandwich platters, a hog roast is hot, fresh and feels like an event. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups generally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
