Corporate hog roast for your staff event in Havant
A corporate hog roast feeds a team without anyone leaving site. We set up in a car park, yard or courtyard in Havant, roast through the morning and carve at the time you set. For long-service celebrations and team days and away days, we will put together a menu of halloumi skewers, salads and rotisserie chicken.
For businesses in Havant, a summer lunch in the car park is an easy win, as long as the site allows gas cooking. Our chef carves in front of your staff, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Working with your venue
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.

Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.

- We arrive and set up under cover.
- We carve and serve quickly.
- We leave the site clean.
