Corporate hog roast in Glassenbury, carved to order

Planners, venues and businesses
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Planning the cooking spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- Somewhere for staff to eat if it rains
- Access through the site gates
- Level hardstanding or lawn
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

How the day works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. The smell normally brings people over long before we carve. After-work summer events in Glassenbury have light until about 9:15pm at midsummer and 8:50pm in late May, so an after-work hog roast works well in summer. By late September, sunset is around 7:00pm.
- We start with the site, date, numbers and lunch break.
- We check site access and send a price.
- On the day we set up and roast through the morning.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve to your timings.
- We tidy up and leave the site clean.
Getting ready for the day

Full catering or machine hire?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
