Corporate hog roast for Crawley
How our corporate hog roast works in Crawley
A hog roast brings lunch to the workplace. We set up in a car park, yard or courtyard in Crawley, roast through the morning and carve at the time you set. On the menu are salads, hog roast rolls and halloumi skewers, and we’re frequently booked for team days and away days and long-service celebrations.
For farms and rural sites near Crawley, a hog roast brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Let us know about tracks and gates. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.
Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
The menu, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, turned until the skin is golden.
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb on the spit roasts gently for hours, carved to order at the serving station, frequently with mint sauce.
