About our corporate hog roast in Colbury
A summer party for staff in Colbury does not have to mean a restaurant booking. A hog roast in the car park or grounds keeps everyone together. Typical bookings include client and customer events and new premises openings, with crackling, spit-roast lamb and salads.
Near Colbury, workplaces can be far from shops, so a hog roast lunch is welcome. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
Give us a contact on site for the day, so we can find you quickly.
China crockery is available for client events.

Colbury questions
Do you cater at venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Is a hog roast smart enough for clients?
It can be as relaxed or polished as you like, with plates or china.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Can you work to our lunch time?
Tell us the numbers and the time and we will plan around them.
Do you cater open days with families?
Open days are a great fit, with alternatives for everyone.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Why choose a hog roast in Colbury?
Next to a plated lunch, a hog roast is relaxed and normally better value. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
