Corporate hog roast in Green Park, carved to order
Instead of booking a restaurant, bring the food to the team. A hog roast in the car park or grounds keeps everyone together. We are often asked to cater new premises openings and milestone celebrations, with coleslaw, crackling and halloumi skewers.
Rural businesses around Green Park can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a hog roast lunch is welcome. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
Is a hog roast right for your staff event?
Compared with individual food vans, carving serves the whole team fast. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.

You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
How we price a hog roast for your team
Here’s what affects the price:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Numbers
- Site access
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.

The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the staff event is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Use our quote form.
