Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue run by staff, everyone gets to join in. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Why us?
- Our staff serve and clear
- Served at the time you choose
- All the equipment comes with us
- An itemised quote

Corporate hog roast for your staff event in Coolham

Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- Somewhere for staff to eat if it rains
- Your site’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
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.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
We set up on the agreed spot, often first thing, then roast through the morning.
Tell us about branding or theming for open days.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
