Corporate hog roast for Ivy Hatch
How it works
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. After-work summer events in Ivy Hatch have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer and 8:50pm in late May, which suits a team barbecue-style evening. In late September, the light goes at about 7:00pm.
- Send us the site, date, numbers and break time.
- We confirm the site details and send a price.
- The roast starts early on site.
- We serve within your break.
- We pack away and go.
How to prepare
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain

The menu, dish by dish

Crackling is what people queue for: crisp, golden and full of flavour.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, turned until the skin is golden.
Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
Name someone in facilities or reception for the day.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.

- Which meats and sides you’d like

A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so you can compare caterers fairly. Fill in our quote form.
