Is a hog roast right for your staff event?
Compared with a restaurant outing, a hog roast is easier to organise and keeps people together. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Ask staff about dietary needs in advance
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
Name someone in facilities or reception for the day.
China crockery is available for client events.
