A hog roast near East Street
Catered or do it yourself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
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.
Corporate hog roast for your staff event in East Street
Instead of booking a restaurant, bring the food to the team. A hog roast in the car park or grounds keeps everyone together. We’re often asked to cater staff summer days and client hospitality, with salads, halloumi skewers and coleslaw.
Near East Street, workplaces can be far from shops, so a hog roast lunch is welcome. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish.
What we serve, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
Rotisserie chicken
For staff who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children generally like it too.

How the day works
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. For a staff lunch in East Street, 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 9:15pm.

- We check with facilities and quote.

- We leave the site clean.
How to prepare
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
