Corporate hog roast for your staff event in Dunsbury

DIY versus a catered hog roast
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
How the day works
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Lunchtime bookings in Dunsbury are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 4:05pm, so evening events need a lit cooking area. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.

What a hog roast costs
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Distance from us
- How many people are eating
- The date and time of year
- Plates or china
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Any venue rules
- The venue or postcode
- Which meats and sides you’d like
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so you can compare caterers fairly. Use our quote form.
A closer look at the menu
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we’ll bring enough vegan burgers or sausages.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a formal plated lunch, it’s less formal and normally costs less. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.

- Served at the time you choose

Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Ask staff about dietary needs in advance
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
Give us a contact on site for the day, so we can find you quickly.
Tell us about branding or theming for open days and we will fit in.
