About our corporate hog roast in Mackerel's Common
Most teams have a set break, so the roast is timed to the minute. Rolls are the quickest way to serve. For staff summer days and new premises openings, we will put together a menu of halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and salads for your staff.
Near Mackerel's Common, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a hog roast a real treat. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
