About our corporate hog roast in Marsh Green
For a staff day in Marsh Green, a hog roast is a crowd-pleaser: rolls are fast to serve and easy to eat. Chicken, lamb and vegetarian options cover everyone else. On the menu are spit-roast lamb, hog roast rolls and crackling, and we are regularly asked to cater retirement do’s and team treats.
For farms and rural sites near Marsh Green, we can cook in the yard. Tell us about access. The hog is roasted on site at your staff event, low and slow, for hours.
Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Add a dietary question to the sign-up
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
On the day, we arrive early and set up where agreed, and the roast cooks through the morning.
If it’s a themed open day, tell us.

It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.

Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors are:
- How long the roast and service take
- Crockery choices
- Numbers
- Travel to Marsh Green
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Details that help
Here’s what we will ask:
- Rough numbers
- The address or postcode
- Dietary requirements
- A picture of the cooking area
It’s easy to get a price: date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll reply with a clear price and what’s included. Fill in our quote form.
Catered or do it yourself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
If it’s for clients, choose china, sides and lamb or chicken to make it more formal. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
