Slow-roasted pork in Holme Green
How our corporate hog roast works in Holme Green
Open days and family fun days need food that copes with a crowd. A hog roast does exactly that, and our team serves and clears. Typical bookings include customer days and team days and away days, serving rotisserie chicken, spit-roast lamb and crackling.
For farms and rural sites near Holme Green, 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 before you book.
What the cooking area needs
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- A named contact for the day
- Shelter for the team
- A safe distance from walls and vehicles
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
From the roaster
- Rotisserie chicken
- Vegan option (Ve)
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Coleslaw
- Crackling
- Hog roast rolls
- Spit-roast lamb

The process
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. For a staff lunch in Holme Green, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for later events. Summer events have daylight until around 9:25pm.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.

A closer look at the menu
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it’s needed, so it stays hot and juicy.
Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Ask staff about dietary needs in advance
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, for the alternatives
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
We serve on time, keeping the queue moving.
