Corporate hog roast in Linwood, slow-roasted on site
Sites typically have rules for outside caterers: vehicle access, gas equipment and where we can cook. Pass on your site’s requirements. We’re frequently asked to cater site open days and summer team parties, serving salads, coleslaw and hog roast rolls.
Rural businesses around Linwood can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, which makes a hog roast a real treat. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Working with your venue
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep you both updated.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, so it stays hot and juicy.
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb is popular alongside the pork, especially for staff who don’t eat pork.
What happens on the day
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. Lunchtime bookings in Linwood are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 4:05pm, so evening events need a lit cooking area. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:25pm.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a staff barbecue, nobody from the team is stuck cooking. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
Why Linwood hosts choose us
- Carved to order by a chef

What a hog roast costs
The biggest factors are:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Access to the cooking area
- The serving time and how long we are on site
The main driver is numbers: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
