Corporate hog roast in Goose Green, carved to order
Most teams have a set break, so the roast is timed to the minute and serve quickly. Rolls are the quickest way to serve. We are often asked to cater client and customer events and site openings, serving coleslaw, salads and halloumi skewers.
For farms and rural sites near Goose Green, a hog roast brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Let us know about tracks and gates. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish before booking.

- Level hardstanding or lawn
- Your site’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A named contact for the day
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

About the food
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: crisp, golden and full of flavour.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.
How it works
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. For a staff lunch in Goose Green, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for later events. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:20pm.

- Collect dietary needs when you send the invite
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
Afterwards we tidy up, and leave the site clean.
