Planning an event in Horseport?
Catered or do it yourself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Corporate hog roast in Horseport, carved to order
A hog roast brings lunch to the workplace. We set up in a car park, yard or courtyard in Horseport, roast through the morning and carve at the time you set. Whether it is launch days and retirement do’s, we will put together a menu of salads, halloumi skewers and coleslaw.
Rural businesses around Horseport can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a hog roast lunch is welcome. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish.
Organising for someone else?
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.

The menu, dish by dish

Good crackling needs time and heat, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some staff will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.

Planning help
Is a hog roast right for your staff event?
If it is for clients, choose china, sides and lamb or chicken to make it more formal. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
