How our corporate hog roast works in Hordle
For a staff day in Hordle, a hog roast is a crowd-pleaser: quick to serve, easy to eat standing up and enjoyed by most people. There are choices for people who do not eat pork. Popular choices include rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and spit-roast lamb, and typical bookings are for long-service celebrations and end-of-project celebrations.
Work events near Hordle might be at a farm business, a workshop or an industrial unit. A hog roast suits all of them. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.
The process
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. After-work summer events in Hordle have light until about 9:25pm at midsummer and 8:55pm in late May, which suits a team barbecue-style evening. In late September, the light goes at about 7:10pm.
