Slow-roasted pork in Highwood
Corporate hog roast in Highwood, slow-roasted on site
Open days and family fun days need food that copes with a crowd. One roast feeds a crowd, and our team serves and clears. We are often asked to cater milestone celebrations and site openings, with halloumi skewers, hog roast rolls and spit-roast lamb.
For farms and rural sites near Highwood, we can cook in the yard. Let us know about tracks and gates. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish.
For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s 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.
How we price a hog roast for your team
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Crockery choices
- Site access
- The number of people
- How long the roast and service take
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups generally cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- A photo of the cooking area
- Your menu choices
- Any dietary needs or allergies
Every staff event is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your staff event for a quote: use our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
- Share the allergen information with the team
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
Give us a contact on site for the day.
China crockery is available for client events, quoted separately.

What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Spit-roast lamb
Adding lamb gives people a choice of two roasts, which works well for larger groups.
Before you choose a spot
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- A safe distance from walls and vehicles
- Someone to meet us at reception
- A level spot in the car park, yard or grounds
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
