Slow-roasted pork in Fordcombe
How our corporate hog roast works in Fordcombe
From a small team to a whole site, we size the roast to your numbers. Give us numbers and timings and we will quote. Typical bookings include launch days and summer staff parties, with coleslaw, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken.
At country workplaces around Fordcombe, a hog roast brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Tell us about access. Our chef carves in front of your staff, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with sandwich platters, hot carved pork feels much more special. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
Why us?
- Planned to your running order
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
See our pricing or our hog roast cost guide.
The menu, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing make the roll.
Rotisserie chicken
For staff who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.

What else we do in Fordcombe
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Working with your venue
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will tell you what we can send.

- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
Afterwards we tidy up, and leave the site clean.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
How it works
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell generally brings people over long before we carve. Daytime open days in Fordcombe are rarely affected by light, though in winter it is dark by about 3:55pm, so late events need lighting.
- Tell us where, when, how many and the serving time.
- We check access and the cooking area, then quote.
- We arrive in good time and start the roast under cover.
- We serve quickly within your break.
- We pack away and leave the site as we found it.
How to prepare
- Think about shelter for your staff
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
Ask for a quote
