Corporate hog roast for your staff event in Hacklinge
A hog roast brings lunch to the workplace. We set up in a car park, yard or courtyard in Hacklinge, roast through the morning and carve at the time you set. On the menu are halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls, and we’re frequently booked for new premises openings and summer staff parties.
At country workplaces around Hacklinge, a hog roast brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Tell us about access. Timings are planned around your staff event, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
A hog roast compared with other options

Planning for dietary needs
Some staff will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Request gluten-free rolls
Let us know about changes: we can hold the roast for a short time.

How it works
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change. Lunchtime bookings in Hacklinge are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:50pm, so evening events need a lit cooking area. Summer events have daylight until around 9:15pm.
