DIY versus a catered hog roast
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
About our corporate hog roast in Higham
A hog roast brings lunch to the workplace. We set up in a car park, yard or courtyard in Higham, roast through the morning and serve at your lunch break. Typical bookings include site openings and team days and away days, serving halloumi skewers, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken.
Near Higham, workplaces can be far from shops, so a hog roast lunch is welcome. The hog is roasted on site at your staff event, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your staff.
What we serve, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness go with the pork perfectly. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, and it is carved the same way, often with mint sauce.
