A hog roast near Highstreet
Corporate hog roast for your staff event in Highstreet
From a small team to a whole site, we size the roast to your numbers. Give us numbers and timings for a quote. We’re frequently asked to cater site open days and team-building days, serving hog roast rolls, spit-roast lamb and halloumi skewers.
For farms and rural sites near Highstreet, we can cook in the yard. Tell us about access. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
Organising for someone else?
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Prices and what affects them
There’s no fixed price list, because every staff event is different. What matters most:
- Access to the cooking area
- Menu choices and extras
- The journey to the venue
- Crockery choices
UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. We quote every event individually, with everything listed.
What to tell us
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- What the outdoor space is like
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Roughly how many people
- Any venue rules
When you’re weighing up caterers, ask each one exactly what’s included. Ours lists it clearly. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
How the day works
Here’s how the day normally runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. In Highstreet, summer evenings stay light until about 9:15pm, so an after-work hog roast works well in summer. In late September, the light goes at about 7:00pm.

What we serve, dish by dish

Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing are the traditional pairing. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
