Corporate hog roast in Kempe's Corner, carved to order
Staff days in Kempe's Corner work well with a hog roast: rolls are fast to serve and easy to eat. Chicken, lamb and vegetarian options cover everyone else. Whether it’s family fun days and long-service celebrations, we’ll put together a menu of spit-roast lamb, coleslaw and hog roast rolls.
At country workplaces around Kempe's Corner, a hog roast brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Let us know about tracks and gates. The carving happens right in front of your staff, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.
Full catering or machine hire?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
