- Planned to your running order

Corporate hog roast for your staff event in Marley
Instead of booking a restaurant, bring the food to the team. A hog roast in the car park or grounds keeps everyone together. For open days and family days and retirements and long-service awards, we’ll put together a menu of crackling, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls for your staff.
Near Marley, workplaces can be far from shops, so a hog roast lunch is welcome. You will know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

For planners, venues and organisers

Diets, allergies and alternatives
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list

Let us know about changes: a cooked roast can be held for a while.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
Step by step
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell typically brings people over long before we carve. After-work summer events in Marley have light until about 9:15pm at midsummer and 8:50pm in late May, which suits a team barbecue-style evening. By late September, sunset is around 7:00pm.
- We start with the site, date, numbers and lunch break.
- We check site access and send a price.
- We arrive in good time and start the roast under cover.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve to your timings.
- We pack away and leave the site as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
