Corporate hog roast in Coldred, slow-roasted on site
A hog roast brings lunch to the workplace. We set up in a car park, yard or courtyard in Coldred, roast through the morning and carve at the time you set. For end-of-project celebrations and retirement do’s, we’ll put together a menu of halloumi skewers, crackling and coleslaw.
Rural businesses around Coldred can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, which makes a hog roast a real treat. Our chef carves in front of your staff, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
What we serve, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, roasted until golden.
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, carved to order at the serving station.

On the day, we arrive early and set up where agreed, then roast through the morning.

The process
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Lunchtime bookings in Coldred are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:50pm, so evening events need a lit cooking area. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:15pm.
- Tell us where, when, how many and the serving time.
- We check access and the cooking area, then quote.
- On the day we set up and roast through the morning.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve to your timings.
- Afterwards we clear up and go.
How to prepare
