- The journey to the venue
- The date and time of year
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Site access
Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and the cooking area, tell us:
- An estimate of numbers
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Dietary requirements
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Getting a quote is simple: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We will reply with a clear price and what’s included. Use our quote form.
Corporate hog roast for your staff event in Hammer
For a client event, a hog roast carved by a chef makes an impression. With china and sides, it becomes a proper meal. Whether it’s staff summer days and customer days, we will put together a menu of spit-roast lamb, crackling and salads and more.
Near Hammer, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a hog roast a real treat. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
The process
Here’s how the day usually runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you are ready. If your staff event in Hammer runs into the evening, check the light: sunset ranges from about 9:20pm in June to 4:00pm in December.

Is a hog roast right for your staff event?

Why Hammer hosts choose us
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
