How our corporate hog roast works in Cliftonville
A hog roast brings lunch to the workplace. We roast on site in Cliftonville through the morning and serve at your lunch break. Whether it is retirements and long-service awards and new premises openings, we will put together a menu of spit-roast lamb, halloumi skewers and crackling for your staff.
Work events near Cliftonville might be at a farm business, a workshop or an industrial unit. It works at any of them. Timings are planned around your staff event, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
Allergies and dietary needs
Some staff will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, for the alternatives
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Add a dietary question to the sign-up
If the schedule moves, tell us: we can hold the roast for a short time.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
