About our corporate hog roast in Great Stonar
Instead of booking a restaurant, bring the food to the team. Keep everyone on site with a hog roast. Whether it’s summer team parties and long-service celebrations, we can cook salads, hog roast rolls and coleslaw and more.
Rural businesses around Great Stonar can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, which makes a hog roast a real treat. You’ll know what’s included before booking: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
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.
What happens on the day
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. If your staff event in Great Stonar runs into the evening, check the light: about 9:15pm in June, 7:00pm in late September and 3:50pm in December.
