About our corporate hog roast in Holbury
A corporate hog roast feeds a team without anyone leaving site. We roast on site in Holbury through the morning and carve at the time you set. Whether it’s end-of-project celebrations and retirement do’s, we can cook spit-roast lamb, coleslaw and rotisserie chicken for your staff.
For businesses around Holbury, a staff lunch in the yard is easy to arrange. Let us know about the site. 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.

Should I cook it myself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Is a hog roast right for your staff event?
Next to a staff barbecue, nobody from the team is stuck cooking. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why us?
- Carved by our chef in front of your staff
- Timed around your day
- Our staff serve and clear
- Cooked on the day, low and slow

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.
