Corporate hog roast in Frostlane
How our corporate hog roast works in Frostlane
From a small team to a whole site, the roast is sized to fit. Give us numbers and timings for a quote. We are frequently asked to cater site openings and end-of-project celebrations, serving salads, halloumi skewers and coleslaw.
Rural businesses around Frostlane can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a hog roast lunch is welcome. Our chef carves in front of your staff, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We will fit in with site rules.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.
How it works
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. For a staff lunch in Frostlane, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 4:00pm, so evening events need a lit cooking area. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:25pm.

Planning the cooking spot

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
Popular choices
- Vegan option (Ve)
- Rotisserie chicken
- Halloumi skewers (V)

- Crackling

- Coleslaw
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Hog roast rolls
What affects the price in Frostlane
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- How long the roast and service take
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The journey to the venue
- Which meats and sides you choose
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Details that help
To get the best quote, tell us:
- Rough numbers
- Your date and serving time
- Dietary requirements
- Your menu choices
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the staff event is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Fill in our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Ask staff about dietary needs in advance
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
- Share the allergen information with the team
Afterwards we tidy up, and leave the site clean.
Salads and coleslaw make it a fuller lunch.

What else we do in Frostlane
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
