Corporate hog roast for your staff event in Christmas Pie
A summer party for staff in Christmas Pie does not have to mean a restaurant booking. A hog roast in the car park or grounds keeps everyone together. Typical bookings include project wrap-ups and staff thank-you lunches, with salads, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers.
For farms and rural sites near Christmas Pie, a hog roast brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Let us know about tracks and gates. 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.
Is a hog roast right for your staff event?
Compared with sandwich platters, hot carved pork feels much more special. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.

The process
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. The smell usually brings people over long before we carve. After-work summer events in Christmas Pie have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer and 8:55pm in late May, so an after-work hog roast works well in summer. By late September, sunset is around 7:05pm.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
