Corporate hog roast for your staff event in Harestock
A corporate hog roast feeds a team without anyone leaving site. We set up in a car park, yard or courtyard in Harestock, roast through the morning and serve at your lunch break. Typical bookings include milestone celebrations and client hospitality, serving spit-roast lamb, salads and hog roast rolls.
Teams near Harestock frequently go for a lunch in the yard or grounds. Let us know about the site. The carving happens right in front of your staff, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
How it works
We work to your timings. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. Daytime open days in Harestock are rarely affected by light, though in winter it’s dark by about 4:00pm.
- You send us the site address, date, numbers and serving window.
- We check site access and send a price.
- On the day we set up and roast through the morning.
- We serve quickly within your break.
- We tidy up and leave the site clean.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know about tight access
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Have a level outdoor spot ready

Should I cook it myself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
