Corporate hog roast in Highmoor Cross, carved to order
Instead of booking a restaurant, bring the food to the team. Keep everyone on site with a hog roast. On the menu are coleslaw, crackling and salads, and we are frequently booked for away days and customer days.
Rural businesses around Highmoor Cross can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a hog roast lunch is welcome. The carving happens right in front of your staff, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Full catering or machine hire?
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.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
The process
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Evening staff events in Highmoor Cross need light after sunset: sunset ranges from about 9:25pm in June to 3:55pm in December.
- Contact us with the basics.
- We sort access and send a quote.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- We carve and serve quickly.
- We leave the site clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

Highmoor Cross questions
Do you cater at venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Is Highmoor Cross too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
What about staff who do not eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat is not something we offer.
Can a company book?
Tell us what your accounts team needs when you enquire, and we’ll confirm how booking and payment work.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
What if things run late?
We will be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
Do you serve the food?
You don’t need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Someone to meet us at reception
- Somewhere for staff to eat if it rains
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

About the food
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Vegan staff can have a vegan burger or sausage, so everyone has something hot.
Working with your venue
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
