About the food
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Why choose corporate hog roast in Knave's Ash?
It’s quick to serve once carving starts, ideal for a set break.

Planning help
Is a hog roast right for your staff event?
Compared with individual food vans, carving serves the whole team fast. For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
