Corporate hog roast in Hinxhill
Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Add a dietary question to the sign-up
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
Afterwards we tidy up, leaving the site as we found it.
Add sides for a bigger lunch.
How our corporate hog roast works in Hinxhill
Instead of booking a restaurant, bring the food to the team. Keep everyone on site with a hog roast. Popular choices include halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and coleslaw, and we’re regularly asked to cater site open days and summer team parties.
Rural businesses around Hinxhill can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, which makes a hog roast a real treat. Timings are planned around your staff event, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.
About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness go with the pork perfectly. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Planning the cooking spot
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- Approval from facilities for gas equipment
- Clearance from the building and parked cars
- A named contact for the day
