How our corporate hog roast works in Hale
Whether it’s twenty people or a whole site, we size the roast to your numbers. Give us numbers and timings for a quote. Popular choices include salads, hog roast rolls and coleslaw, and typical bookings are for summer team parties and client and customer events.
Rural businesses around Hale 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 you book: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
About the food
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, perfect for eating on the move. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: grilled halloumi with vegetables.
Full catering or machine hire?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.

What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- How many people are eating
- Menu choices and extras
- The journey to the venue
- Plates or china
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- An estimate of numbers
- What the outdoor space is like
- The venue or postcode
For a quote, send us a few details: the date and serving time, the venue or SP6 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Use our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Find out how many do not eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
- Add a dietary question to the sign-up
We follow your site’s sign-in and safety rules, and keep vehicles where you ask.
Tell us about branding or theming for open days and we will fit in.
