About our corporate hog roast in Cold Ash

Rural businesses around Cold Ash can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a hog roast lunch is welcome. Timings are planned around your staff event, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

A closer look at the menu

We carve as we serve, which keeps it hot and moist right to the last roll.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some staff will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.

How the day works
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. In Cold Ash, summer evenings stay light until about 9:25pm, so an after-work hog roast works well in summer. By late September, sunset is around 7:10pm.
- Send us the site, date, numbers and break time.
- We check access and gas rules and quote.
- The roast starts early on site.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve on time.
- We pack away and go.

A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a staff barbecue, everyone gets to join in. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

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 roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- Clearance from the building and parked cars
- Someone to meet us at reception
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
