How our corporate hog roast works in Ipsden
Sites generally have rules for outside caterers: vehicle access, gas equipment and where we can cook. Pass on your site’s requirements. Popular choices include rotisserie chicken, coleslaw and salads, and we’re frequently booked for site openings and milestone celebrations.
Rural businesses around Ipsden can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, which makes a hog roast a real treat. Our chef carves in front of your staff, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
