Corporate hog roast in Lyford, carved to order
Open days and family fun days need food that copes with a crowd. One roast feeds a crowd, with our staff serving and clearing. We are often asked to cater end-of-project celebrations and launch days, with spit-roast lamb, salads and hog roast rolls.
For farms and rural sites near Lyford, we can cook in the yard. Let us know about tracks and gates. The hog is roasted on site at your staff event, slowly, over several hours.

Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
- Share the allergen information with the team
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the site as we found it.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
What the cooking area needs
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- Access through the site gates
- A contact on site
- Somewhere for staff to eat if it rains
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

How the day works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Open days in Lyford normally finish in daylight, but in December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so late events need lighting.
- Get in touch with the basics.
- We check with facilities and quote.
- We roast on site.
- Service is fast once we carve.
- We leave the site clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
