Corporate hog roast in Leigh Green, carved to order
At an open day, you need food that serves a lot of people quickly. One roast feeds a crowd, and our team serves and clears. We serve halloumi skewers, coleslaw and rotisserie chicken, and we’re frequently booked for end-of-project celebrations and site open days.
Rural businesses around Leigh Green can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a hog roast lunch is welcome. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
The process
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your staff, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Open days in Leigh Green usually finish in daylight, though in winter it’s dark by about 3:50pm.

About the food
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.

Leigh Green questions
Can you do a hog roast in Turners Field?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first.
How far is Leigh Green from London?
Roughly 46 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you send documents for facilities?
Each site is different: pass on your list and we will respond.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Do we need our own staff?
You do not need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
How does payment work for businesses?
Get in touch with your details, and the quote will include the terms.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
