Slow-roasted pork in Kemsley Street
The process
Here’s how the day normally runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you are ready. Lunchtime bookings in Kemsley Street are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:50pm, so evening events need a lit cooking area. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:15pm.
- Tell us where, when, how many and when you eat.
- We confirm the site details and send a price.
- The roast starts early on site.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve on time.
- We pack away and go.
Before we arrive
- Think about shelter for your staff
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking

About our corporate hog roast in Kemsley Street
Sites normally have rules for outside caterers: access, gas cooking and the cooking area. Tell us what your facilities team needs. We serve hog roast rolls, crackling and coleslaw, and typical bookings are for team-building days and site openings.
Rural businesses around Kemsley Street can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a hog roast lunch is welcome. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours.

Should I cook it myself?
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.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Looking after everyone
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
We set up on the agreed spot, frequently first thing, and the roast cooks through the morning.
A second meat gives the team a choice.
