Corporate hog roast for your staff event in Ecchinswell
A hog roast brings lunch to the workplace. We set up in a car park, yard or courtyard in Ecchinswell, roast through the morning and carve at the time you set. Whether it is retirements and long-service awards and thank-you lunches, we’ll put together a menu of salads, hog roast rolls and crackling.
Near Ecchinswell, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a hog roast a real treat. The carving happens right in front of your staff, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- Approval from facilities for gas equipment
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- How long the roast and service take
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Numbers
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Details that help
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- Allergies we should know about
- The date and time of the event
- A picture of the cooking area
- Roughly how many people
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so you can compare caterers fairly. Use our quote form.
Catered or do it yourself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
