Corporate hog roast in Hartley Wespall, carved to order
Whether it’s twenty people or a whole site, we size the roast to your numbers. Give us numbers and timings and we’ll quote. We’re frequently asked to cater site open days and long-service celebrations, with coleslaw, crackling and rotisserie chicken.
For farms and rural sites near Hartley Wespall, we can cook in the yard. Let us know about tracks and gates. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
Prices and what affects them
Here’s what affects the price:
- Numbers
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Plates or china
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Your menu choices
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Roughly how many people
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Tell us your date and we’ll check it: fill in our quote form.
Catered or do it yourself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
- Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
Let us know about changes: we can hold the roast for a short time.
