Full catering or machine hire?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Is a hog roast right for your staff event?
Compared with individual food vans, carving serves the whole team fast. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.

About the food
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed can be served in a roll or on a plate alongside the pork.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
