About our corporate hog roast in Frilsham
A carving station gives a client event a sense of occasion. With china and sides, it becomes a proper meal. For away days and site openings, we will put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, spit-roast lamb and coleslaw for your staff.
Near Frilsham, workplaces can be far from shops, so a hog roast lunch is welcome. The hog is roasted on site at your staff event, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your staff.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue run by staff, everyone gets to join in. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
