Corporate hog roast for your staff event in Eccles
Long-service awards, retirements and site openings in Eccles all suit a hog roast, as a thank-you to the team. Typical bookings include customer days and project wrap-ups, serving halloumi skewers, hog roast rolls and crackling.
Near Eccles, 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.
What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, with gluten-free rolls on request.
A hog roast compared with other options
If it’s for clients, add china, sides and a second roast to make it more formal. Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. Every event gets its own quote, with everything listed.

Allergies and dietary needs
Some staff will not eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Add a dietary question to the sign-up
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
- Share the allergen information with the team
We serve on time, keeping the queue moving.
Ask about china for a more formal lunch, quoted separately.
