About our corporate hog roast in Little Chart
Workplaces have rules, and we work to them: vehicle access, gas equipment and where we can cook. Pass on your site’s requirements. Popular choices include halloumi skewers, coleslaw and salads, and we are regularly asked to cater client and customer events and milestone celebrations.
Rural businesses around Little Chart can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a hog roast lunch is welcome. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a formal plated lunch, it’s less formal and normally costs less. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why us?
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Served at the time you choose
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit

For planners, venues and organisers
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
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 will keep everyone in the loop.
A closer look at the menu
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Everything goes into a soft roll, perfect for eating on the move. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
What the cooking area needs
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Ideally:
- Your site’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Somewhere for staff to eat if it rains
- Someone to meet us at reception
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
