How our corporate hog roast works in Matfield
Sites generally have rules for outside caterers: access, gas cooking and the cooking area. Pass on your site’s requirements. Whether it’s staff thank-you lunches and launch days, we can cook crackling, rotisserie chicken and spit-roast lamb.
For farms and rural sites near Matfield, a hog roast brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Tell us about access. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

Is a hog roast right for your staff event?
Compared with a barbecue run by staff, everyone gets to join in. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Why us?
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Carved to order by a chef
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it

Catered or do it yourself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
