Corporate hog roast for your staff event in Ellisfield
A summer party for staff in Ellisfield does not have to mean a restaurant booking. A hog roast in the car park or grounds keeps everyone together. Typical bookings include end-of-project celebrations and client hospitality, serving coleslaw, hog roast rolls and salads.
Near Ellisfield, workplaces can be far from shops, so a hog roast lunch is welcome. Our chef carves in front of your staff, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.
What happens on the day
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Evening staff events in Ellisfield need light after sunset: sunset ranges from about 9:25pm in June to 4:00pm in December.

Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to:
- Plates or china
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The date and time of year
- The journey to the venue
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

- Allergies we should know about
- Rough numbers
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Where the event is
Send us the date, the address or RG25 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat. We will confirm availability and send a price. Fill in our quote form.
Catered or do it yourself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
