Afterwards we tidy up, and leave the site clean.

About our corporate hog roast in Colt's Hill
Workplaces have rules, and we work to them: access, gas cooking and the cooking area. Pass on your site’s requirements. Typical bookings include project wrap-ups and retirement do’s, with coleslaw, rotisserie chicken and salads.
Rural businesses around Colt's Hill can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a hog roast lunch is welcome. 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.
Prices and what affects them
We work out each quote from:
- How many people are eating
- Crockery choices
- The journey to the venue
- Access to the cooking area
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Details that help
When you contact us, it helps to include:
- Allergies we should know about
- Any venue rules
- Your date and serving time
- Where the event is
Busy weekends book up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Tell us your date and we will check it: use our quote form.

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.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
