Corporate hog roast for your staff event in Church Street
In Church Street, we cater retirements, openings and long-service celebrations, as a simple way to say thank you. Whether it’s thank-you lunches and new premises openings, we’ll put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, coleslaw and salads and more.
At country workplaces around Church Street, we can cook in the yard. Let us know about tracks and gates. Timings are planned around your staff event, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.
Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Your site’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Somewhere to park our vehicle
- Somewhere for staff to eat if it rains
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
From the roaster
- Vegan option (Ve)
- Coleslaw
- Hog roast rolls
- Rotisserie chicken
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Crackling
- Salads
- Spit-roast lamb
Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, for the alternatives
Give us a contact on site for the day.
Ask about china for a more formal lunch, quoted separately.
The process
The roaster is gas-fired, so we don’t need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Daytime open days in Church Street are rarely affected by light, but in December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so late events need lighting.
- You send us the site address, date, numbers and serving window.
- We check access and the cooking area, then quote.
- We set up early and get the hog roasting.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve to your timings.
- We pack away and leave the site as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Let us know about tight access
- Send final numbers in good time

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a formal plated lunch, a hog roast is relaxed and typically better value. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. Every event gets its own quote, with everything listed.
Why book with us
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Our staff serve and clear
- Planned to your running order
Read our prices page and the cost guide.
Should I cook it myself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.

The main driver is numbers: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
