Slow-roasted pork in Hyde
How our corporate hog roast works in Hyde
For a client event, a hog roast carved by a chef makes an impression. With china and sides, it becomes a proper meal. We are often asked to cater retirements and long-service awards and summer team parties, serving halloumi skewers, crackling and hog roast rolls.
Near Hyde, workplaces can be far from shops, so a hog roast lunch is welcome. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A contact on site
- Space away from buildings, vehicles and trees
- Flat ground in a car park or courtyard
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

Spit-roast lamb

DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.

Hyde questions
Is Hyde too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Do you serve the food?
You do not need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
What about family fun days?
Open days are a great fit, with chicken and vegetarian options for visitors.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Can a company book?
Let us know your company’s booking requirements, and we’ll explain the booking terms.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
The process
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. For a staff lunch in Hyde, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 4:05pm, so plan lighting for later events. Summer events have daylight until around 9:25pm.
- Tell us where, when, how many and when you eat.

- Our chef carves and our staff serve on time.
- We pack away and go.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
