Corporate hog roast in Glyndebourne, slow-roasted on site
Instead of booking a restaurant, bring the food to the team. A hog roast in the car park or grounds keeps everyone together. On the menu are salads, rotisserie chicken and spit-roast lamb, and we’re frequently booked for thank-you lunches and summer staff parties.
Rural businesses around Glyndebourne 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.

What comes off the roaster
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
How it works

- We check site access and send a price.
- On the day we set up and roast through the morning.
- The team carves and serves on time.
- Afterwards we clear up and go.
Getting ready for the day

- Choose someone to meet us on arrival

Planning for dietary needs
Some staff will not eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Collect dietary needs when you send the invite
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, for the alternatives
On the day, we arrive early and set up where agreed, then roast through the morning.
Salads and coleslaw make it a fuller lunch.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Planning the cooking spot
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Before booking, check:
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- A level spot in the car park, yard or grounds
- Space away from buildings, vehicles and trees
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

Working with your venue
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a plated lunch, it’s less formal and normally costs less. For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
