Corporate hog roast for your staff event in Leigh
For a client event, a hog roast carved by a chef makes an impression. Add china and sides for a more formal feel. On the menu are salads, rotisserie chicken and spit-roast lamb, and we’re frequently booked for team days and away days and retirement do’s.
Rural businesses around Leigh can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a hog roast lunch is welcome. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
How the day works
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. For a staff lunch in Leigh, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for later events. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:20pm.

- The date and time of year
- How many people are eating
- Whether you want china
- Menu choices and extras
Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
What we need to know
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- The venue or postcode
- A photo of the cooking area
- Any venue rules
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so it’s easy to compare like for like. Send us your details through our quote form.
Space, access and the venue
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Flat ground in a car park or courtyard
- A safe distance from walls and vehicles
- Someone to meet us at reception
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
Popular choices
- Crackling
- Coleslaw
- Rotisserie chicken
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Hog roast rolls
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Spit-roast lamb
- Salads
- Vegan option (Ve)
About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll.
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
Questions from Leigh
Can you do a hog roast in Haysden Country Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first.
What’s the nearest station to Leigh?
Leigh (Kent) station, in Leigh itself.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so tell us your best estimate. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
What paperwork do you provide for our site?
Tell us what your site asks for, and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A photo helps.
Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Collect dietary needs when you send the invite
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the site clean.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
