Corporate hog roast for Grove Park
How our corporate hog roast works in Grove Park
Instead of booking a restaurant, bring the food to the team. Keep everyone on site with a hog roast. Whether it’s long-service celebrations and team treats, we will put together a menu of coleslaw, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken.
For offices in and around Grove Park, the roaster normally goes in a car park, yard or courtyard, if the building allows gas cooking. Get facilities’ approval for gas cooking early. You will know what’s included before you book: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.

Organising for someone else?
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Should I cook it myself?
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.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Step by step
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your staff, with crackling for everyone who wants it. If your staff event in Grove Park runs into the evening, check the light: sunset ranges from about 9:20pm in June to 3:55pm in December.
- Start with the date, site and numbers.
- We sort access and send a quote.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- Service is fast once we carve.
- We clear up afterwards.
How to prepare

About the food
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, with gluten-free rolls on request.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal, especially at a sit-down event.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Find out how many don’t eat pork, for the alternatives
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
- Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
Name someone in facilities or reception for the day, so we can find you quickly.
If it is a themed open day, tell us.
FAQs for Grove Park
What if our house in Grove Park has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
Could you cook in Chinbrook Meadows?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we will check.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will confirm everything in writing.
What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
How do we book for a business?
Tell us what your accounts team needs when you enquire, and we will explain the booking terms.
Do you cater open days with families?
Open days are a great fit, with chicken and vegetarian options for visitors.
What if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to sandwich platters, a hog roast is hot, fresh and feels like an event. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
What you get with us
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Carved to order by a chef
