About our corporate hog roast in Dean
At an open day, you need food that serves a lot of people quickly. One roast feeds a crowd, and our team serves and clears. Typical bookings include site open days and launch days, serving salads, spit-roast lamb and crackling.
Near Dean, workplaces can be far from shops, so a hog roast lunch is welcome. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
What comes off the roaster
Spit-roast lamb
Adding lamb gives people a choice of two roasts, which suits bigger events.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Where the roaster can go in Dean
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- Access through the site gates
- A safe distance from walls and vehicles
- A covered area or canteen for wet weather

Prices and what affects them
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every staff event is different. The main factors are:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The journey to the venue
- Time on site
- The date and time of year
Compare like for like: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Share the allergen information with the team
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
Name someone in facilities or reception for the day, so we can find you quickly.
If it is a themed open day, tell us and we’ll fit in.
For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
If you’re a venue or event planner, we’re happy to work alongside your team.
