Corporate hog roast for your staff event in Knox Bridge
For a staff day in Knox Bridge, a hog roast is a crowd-pleaser: rolls are fast to serve and easy to eat. There are choices for people who do not eat pork. For retirement do’s and thank-you lunches, we can cook coleslaw, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken for your staff.
Rural businesses around Knox Bridge can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, which makes a hog roast a real treat. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish.
Catered or do it yourself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
