About our corporate hog roast in Ditton
Sites normally have rules for outside caterers: access, gas cooking and the cooking area. Pass on your site’s requirements. On the menu are crackling, salads and halloumi skewers, and we are regularly asked to cater summer team parties and site openings.
Work events near Ditton might be at a farm business, a workshop or an industrial unit. A hog roast suits all of them. You’ll know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A level spot in the car park, yard or grounds
- Someone to meet us at reception
- Sign-off for outside caterers
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

How the day works
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. For a staff lunch in Ditton, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:50pm, so plan lighting for later events. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:20pm.
