About our corporate hog roast in Firgo
Instead of booking a restaurant, bring the food to the team. A hog roast in the car park or grounds keeps everyone together. We are often asked to cater team treats and away days, with hog roast rolls, halloumi skewers and crackling.
Rural businesses around Firgo can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, which makes a hog roast a real treat. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

What affects the price in Firgo
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Numbers
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Whether you want china
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a formal plated lunch, it is less formal and normally costs less. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why Firgo hosts choose us
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Serving and clearing done for you
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
