Corporate hog roast in Lychpit, carved to order
Sites typically have rules for outside caterers: vehicle access, gas equipment and where we can cook. Pass on your site’s requirements. We are often asked to cater summer team parties and client hospitality, with hog roast rolls, spit-roast lamb and salads.
At country workplaces around Lychpit, we can cook in the yard. Tell us about access. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Season and day of the week
- Numbers
- Access to the cooking area
- The serving time and how long we are on site
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups normally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What we need to know
To check availability and the cooking area, tell us:
- Rough numbers
- The venue or postcode
- The date and time of the event
- A picture of the cooking area
When you are weighing up caterers, ask each one exactly what’s included. We spell it out in ours. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
- Add a dietary question to the sign-up
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Share the allergen information with the team
We serve on time, so people get back to work on time.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
Should I cook it myself?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
What we serve, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes to make it a proper meal, especially at a sit-down event.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a restaurant outing, a hog roast keeps everyone on site and saves travel. For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why Lychpit hosts choose us

- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- No surprises: everything in writing

A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- A safe distance from walls and vehicles
- Your site’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
