Allergies and dietary needs

Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:

  • Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
  • Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
  • Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
  • Label the vegetarian and vegan food

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

Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

How our corporate hog roast works in Cooksbridge

A carving station gives a client event a sense of occasion. Add china and sides for a more formal feel. For away days and summer team parties, we can cook crackling, salads and coleslaw and more.

Near Cooksbridge, workplaces can be far from shops, so a hog roast lunch is welcome. Our chef carves in front of your staff, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Full catering or machine hire?

Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.

A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.

Choosing a hog roast caterer

How it works

The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. Lunchtime bookings in Cooksbridge are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit cooking area. Summer events have daylight until around 9:15pm.

  1. Send us the site, date, numbers and break time.
  2. We check access and gas rules and quote.
  3. We set up early and roast through the morning.
  4. We serve within your break.
  5. We pack away and go.

About the food

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)

For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.

Rolls and gluten-free rolls

A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.

Is a hog roast right for your staff event?

Next to sandwich platters, hot carved pork feels much more special. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

Why us?

  • Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
  • Staff to serve, so you do not have to
  • All the equipment comes with us
  • Timed around your day

Read our prices page or what a hog roast costs.

What affects the price in Cooksbridge

The price comes down to:

  • Menu choices and extras
  • Season and day of the week
  • How many people are eating
  • The journey to the venue

When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.

What to tell us

Good details mean a good quote. Please include:

  • Where the event is
  • Roughly how many people
  • A picture of the cooking area
  • The date and time of the event

Numbers not final yet? Give us your best estimate and we’ll quote on that, and you can confirm nearer the time. Fill in our quote form.

Working with your venue

Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.

For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
