Corporate hog roast in Drayton, carved to order
For a client event, a hog roast carved by a chef makes an impression. With china and sides, it becomes a proper meal. We’re frequently asked to cater away days and new premises openings, with coleslaw, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls.
Near Drayton, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a hog roast a real treat. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.
Space, access and the venue
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- Somewhere for staff to eat if it rains
- A safe distance from walls and vehicles
- A level spot in the car park, yard or grounds
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
Popular choices
- Vegan option (Ve)
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Hog roast rolls
- Salads
- Rotisserie chicken
- Crackling
- Coleslaw
- Spit-roast lamb
The menu, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Rotisserie chicken
For staff who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.
For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.

What a hog roast costs
Each price is built from:
- How long the roast and service take
- Which meats and sides you choose
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Plates or china
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.

Lunchtime bookings in Drayton are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 4:00pm, so plan lighting for later events. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
