Corporate hog roast for your staff event in Church Hougham
Sites normally have rules for outside caterers: vehicle access, gas equipment and where we can cook. Pass on your site’s requirements. We serve halloumi skewers, hog roast rolls and coleslaw, and typical bookings are for team-building days and retirements and long-service awards.
Near Church Hougham, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a hog roast a real treat. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Is a hog roast right for your staff event?
If it is for clients, add china, sides and a second roast for a more polished feel. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Why Church Hougham hosts choose us
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Timed around your day
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too

Full catering or machine hire?
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.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
How the day works
Here’s how the day usually runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. If your staff event in Church Hougham runs into the evening, check the light: sunset ranges from about 9:15pm in June to 3:50pm in December.
