Corporate hog roast for your staff event in Cumnor
At an open day, you need food that serves plenty of people quickly. A hog roast does exactly that, with our staff serving and clearing. Typical bookings include launch days and away days, with rotisserie chicken, crackling and halloumi skewers.
At country workplaces around Cumnor, we can cook in the yard. 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.

The process
From setting up to the last roll, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your staff event. Daytime open days in Cumnor are rarely affected by light, but in December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so late events need lighting.
- Get in touch with the basics.
- We sort access and send a quote.
- We roast on site.
- We carve and serve quickly.
- We leave the site clean.
Preparing for the day
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Share the allergen information with the team
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, for the alternatives
On the day, we arrive early and set up where agreed, and the roast cooks through the morning.
If it is a themed open day, tell us.

Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.

Prices and what affects them
We do not use a fixed price list, because every staff event is different. What matters most:
- Access to the cooking area
- Menu choices and extras
- Distance from us
- The number of people
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Getting an accurate quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Rough numbers
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Allergies we should know about
- What the outdoor space is like
When you are weighing up caterers, ask each one exactly what’s included. Ours lists it clearly. To get yours, fill in our quote form.
Full catering or machine hire?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a staff barbecue, everyone gets to join in. Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
Why Cumnor hosts choose us
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
