Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Share the allergen information with the team
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
We will sign in and follow site rules, and keep vehicles where you ask.

Corporate hog roast in Laverstoke, carved to order
Most teams have a set break, so the roast is timed to the minute and serve quickly. Rolls keep service fast. Typical bookings include new premises openings and team days and away days, serving hog roast rolls, coleslaw and rotisserie chicken.
Rural businesses around Laverstoke can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a hog roast lunch is welcome. Our chef carves in front of your staff, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Should I cook it myself?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
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.
