About our corporate hog roast in Highbridge
Instead of booking a restaurant, bring the food to the team. A hog roast in the car park or grounds keeps everyone together. Popular choices include salads, crackling and rotisserie chicken, and typical bookings are for summer team parties and staff thank-you lunches.
At country workplaces around Highbridge, 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.
Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the site as we found it.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Planning a team lunch in Highbridge
Highbridge is about 2 miles north of Eastleigh, in Hampshire. Highbridge and the surrounding area are covered for staff events. We bring hog roasts to 683 places in Hampshire. Our bookings stretch from Highbridge to Southampton (about 6 miles away).
Teams travelling in by rail can use the station: the nearest station is Eastleigh station, about 1.7 miles south-west. Nearby historic houses include South Stoneham House (4.2 miles south-west). Estates and historic houses can make memorable settings for client events, but they usually set strict rules for caterers.

Full catering or machine hire?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Working with your venue
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
What we serve, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb is popular alongside the pork, especially for staff who don’t eat pork.
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it is needed, which keeps it hot and moist.

What happens on the day
Here’s how the day generally runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you are ready. For a staff lunch in Highbridge, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 4:00pm, so evening events need a lit cooking area. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:25pm.

- We check with facilities and quote.
- We roast on site.
- We carve and serve quickly.
- We leave the site clean.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a plated lunch, a hog roast is relaxed and generally better value. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
