Corporate hog roast for your staff event in Harpsden Bottom
A hog roast brings lunch to the workplace. We set up in a car park, yard or courtyard in Harpsden Bottom, roast through the morning and serve at your lunch break. On the menu are halloumi skewers, crackling and spit-roast lamb, and we are regularly asked to cater customer days and long-service celebrations.
For farms and rural sites near Harpsden Bottom, we can cook in the yard. Let us know about tracks and gates. 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.

The menu, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb
Adding lamb gives people a choice of two roasts, which works well for larger groups.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some staff will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Is a hog roast right for your staff event?
Next to a staff barbecue, everyone gets to join in. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.

How the day works

- You send us the site address, date, numbers and serving window.
- We check site access and send a price.
- We set up early and get the hog roasting.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve to your timings.
- We tidy up and leave the site clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Give us final numbers a week or so before

- Dietary requirements
