Corporate hog roast for your staff event in Dibden
Sites normally have rules for outside caterers: vehicle access, gas equipment and where we can cook. Pass on your site’s requirements. Typical bookings include site open days and summer staff parties, serving salads, rotisserie chicken and coleslaw.
Around Dibden, teams work at farms, workshops and units. It works at any of them. Our chef carves in front of your staff, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.
Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
We will sign in and follow site rules, and keep vehicles where you ask.
If it is a themed open day, tell us.
Step by step
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. After-work summer events in Dibden have light until about 9:25pm at midsummer and 8:55pm in late May, so an after-work hog roast works well in summer. In late September, the light goes at about 7:10pm.

About the food
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some staff will be vegetarian, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.

For event organisers in Dibden

Dibden questions
Which station is closest to Dibden?

Can you roast near the sea around Dibden?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
What comes with the hog roast?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a photo if you are unsure.
Do you cover Dibden?
Yes, Dibden is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll check the date.
Do you need a car park?
A car park, yard or grounds typically works, if there’s a level spot away from buildings and vehicles.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.
Should I cook it myself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
