Slow-roasted pork in Lessness Heath
How our corporate hog roast works in Lessness Heath
For a staff day in Lessness Heath, a hog roast is a crowd-pleaser: quick to serve, easy to eat standing up and enjoyed by most people. Chicken, lamb and vegetarian options cover everyone else. We serve coleslaw, rotisserie chicken and crackling, and we’re often booked for team treats and open days and family days.
For offices in and around Lessness Heath, the roaster typically goes in a car park, yard or courtyard, if the building allows gas cooking. Get facilities’ approval for gas cooking early. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
