About our corporate hog roast in Hammer Bottom
At an open day, you need food that serves plenty of people quickly. A hog roast does exactly that, and our team serves and clears. We are often asked to cater customer days and milestone celebrations, with salads, crackling and coleslaw.
Near Hammer Bottom, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a hog roast a real treat. You’ll know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We will keep everyone in the loop.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Find out how many do not eat pork, for the alternatives
Give us a contact on site for the day, so we can find you quickly.

Prices and what affects them
There is no fixed price list, because every staff event is different. The main factors are:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- How many people are eating
- Whether you want china
Travel matters for the price: we include travel in the quote. Give us the address so the quote is accurate.
What to tell us
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- What the outdoor space is like

- The date and when you’d like to eat
Numbers not final yet? Give us your best estimate and we will quote on that, then confirm closer to the date. Use our quote form.
The process
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your staff will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Daytime open days in Hammer Bottom are rarely affected by light, but in December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so late events need lighting.
- Tell us where, when, how many and the serving time.
- We check site access and send a price.
- We arrive in good time and start the roast under cover.
- The team carves and serves on time.
- We tidy up and leave the site clean.
Before we arrive
- Think about shelter for your staff
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance

Why choose corporate hog roast in Hammer Bottom?
