FAQs for Crofton
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Is Crofton too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you serve the food?
You don’t need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Can you do gluten-free?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
Do you cater open days with families?
We do. Give us total numbers and we’ll plan for everyone.
What do people get?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Corporate hog roast in Crofton, carved to order
Most teams have a set break, so we plan the roast to be ready on time. Rolls are the quickest way to serve. Typical bookings include retirement do’s and thank-you lunches, with hog roast rolls, halloumi skewers and spit-roast lamb.
At country workplaces around Crofton, a hog roast brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Let us know about tracks and gates. 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.

What happens on the day

- A named contact for the day
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
From the roaster
- Crackling
- Salads
- Spit-roast lamb
- Hog roast rolls
- Rotisserie chicken
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Coleslaw

The menu, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb
Adding lamb gives people a choice of two roasts, which works well for larger groups.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there is a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so everyone has something hot.
Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Find out how many don’t eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
- Share the allergen information with the team
We follow your site’s sign-in and safety rules, and keep vehicles where you ask.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
