Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
- Find out how many do not eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Add a dietary question to the sign-up
Afterwards we tidy up, leaving the site as we found it.
Salads and coleslaw make it a fuller lunch.
How our corporate hog roast works in Furzey Lodge
A summer party for staff in Furzey Lodge does not have to mean a restaurant booking. A hog roast in the car park or grounds keeps everyone together. We serve spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken and coleslaw, and we are regularly asked to cater away days and retirements and long-service awards.
At country workplaces around Furzey Lodge, a hog roast brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Let us know about tracks and gates. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
How we price a hog roast for your team
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The date and time of year
- The serving time and how long we are on site

Compare like for like: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

The process
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. After-work summer events in Furzey Lodge have light until about 9:25pm at midsummer and 8:55pm in late May, which suits a team barbecue-style evening. By late September, sunset is around 7:10pm.

- Flat ground in a car park or courtyard
- A covered area or canteen for wet weather
