A corporate hog roast feeds a team without anyone leaving site. We set up in a car park, yard or courtyard in Cliffe Woods, roast through the morning and serve at your lunch break.

Near Cliffe Woods, workplaces can be far from shops, so a hog roast lunch is welcome. Timings are planned around your staff event, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.
How the day works
Here’s how the day usually runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. After-work summer events in Cliffe Woods have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer and 8:50pm in late May, so an after-work hog roast works well in summer. By late September, sunset is around 7:00pm.
