Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Someone to meet us at reception
- Clearance from the building and parked cars
- Flat ground in a car park or courtyard
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

How our corporate hog roast works in Lower Slackstead

At country workplaces around Lower Slackstead, we can cook in the yard. Let us know about tracks and gates. You will know what’s included before you book: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.
Step by step
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. For a staff lunch in Lower Slackstead, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 4:00pm, so plan lighting for later events. Summer events have daylight until around 9:25pm.

Planning for dietary needs

- Count anyone who does not eat pork, for the alternatives
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
- Share the allergen information with the team
- Ask staff about dietary needs in advance
We set up on the agreed spot, often first thing, then roast through the morning.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
