What we serve, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb is popular alongside the pork, especially for staff who do not eat pork.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes to make it a proper meal, especially at a sit-down event.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Space, access and the venue
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- Space away from buildings, vehicles and trees
- A named contact for the day
- Approval from facilities for gas equipment

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some staff won’t eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Collect dietary needs when you send the invite
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, for the alternatives
On the day, we arrive early and set up where agreed, and the roast cooks through the morning.
A second meat gives the team a choice.
The process
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your staff will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. For a staff lunch in Langley, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:50pm, so plan lighting for later events. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:15pm.
- Start with the date, site and numbers.
- We sort access and send a quote.
- We roast on site.
- Service is fast once we carve.
- We clear up afterwards.
How to prepare
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
