Book a hog roast in Lockerley
Corporate hog roast in Lockerley, slow-roasted on site
Instead of booking a restaurant, bring the food to the team. A hog roast in the car park or grounds keeps everyone together. Popular choices include spit-roast lamb, coleslaw and salads, and we’re regularly asked to cater client hospitality and retirement do’s.
Near Lockerley, workplaces can be far from shops, so a hog roast lunch is welcome. Timings are planned around your staff event, working back from when you want to eat.
For event organisers in Lockerley
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Share the allergen information with the team
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
On the day, we arrive early and set up where agreed, and the roast cooks through the morning.
