Corporate hog roast in Frant, slow-roasted on site
Most teams have a set break, so the roast is timed to the minute. Rolls are the quickest way to serve. Whether it is site openings and customer days, we will put together a menu of halloumi skewers, hog roast rolls and crackling.
Rural businesses around Frant can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, which makes a hog roast a real treat. The hog is roasted on site at your staff event, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.
Prices and what affects them
There is no fixed price list, because every staff event is different. What matters most:
- The date and time of year
- Site access
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The serving time and how long we are on site
A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Details that help
Here’s what we will ask:
- Your date and serving time
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Rough numbers
- Any dietary needs or allergies
We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Send us your details through our quote form.

For a staff lunch in Frant, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for later events. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:15pm.
