- Sign-off for outside caterers
- A covered area or canteen for wet weather
- Space away from buildings, vehicles and trees
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Corporate hog roast in Hucking, carved to order
Most teams have a set break, so we plan the roast to be ready on time and serve quickly. Rolls keep service fast. Typical bookings include open days and family days and away days, serving crackling, spit-roast lamb and salads.
Near Hucking, workplaces can be far from shops, 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, so the food is ready at the right moment.
What happens on the day
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. After-work summer events in Hucking have light until about 9:15pm at midsummer and 8:50pm in late May, so an after-work hog roast works well in summer. In late September, the light goes at about 7:00pm.

- Request gluten-free rolls

DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
