How our corporate hog roast works in Comp
At an open day, you need food that serves a lot of people quickly. One roast feeds a crowd, with our staff serving and clearing. Popular choices include rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and crackling, and we are regularly asked to cater new premises openings and retirements and long-service awards.
At country workplaces around Comp, a hog roast brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Tell us about access. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish before you book.
Step by step
Your timings come first. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. In Comp, summer evenings stay light until about 9:20pm, so an after-work hog roast works well in summer. By late September, sunset is around 7:00pm.
- We start with the site, date, numbers and lunch break.
- You get a check on the date and the site, and a quote.
- We arrive in good time and start the roast under cover.
- The team carves and serves on time.
- Afterwards we clear up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Think about shelter for your staff
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand

Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Share the allergen information with the team
- Ask staff about dietary needs in advance
Afterwards we tidy up, and leave the site clean.
