About our corporate hog roast in Hermitage
Open days and family fun days need food that copes with a crowd. A hog roast does exactly that, and our team serves and clears. Whether it is client and customer events and summer team parties, we will put together a menu of crackling, spit-roast lamb and rotisserie chicken for your staff.

Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Share the allergen information with the team
- Ask staff about dietary needs in advance
- Request gluten-free rolls
At the agreed time, our chef carves and our staff serve, so people get back to work on time.

Full catering or machine hire?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
