What we serve, dish by dish
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: crisp, golden and full of flavour, straight off the hog.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Corporate hog roast for your staff event in Maxton
Staff days in Maxton work well with a hog roast: quick to serve, easy to eat standing up and enjoyed by most people. Chicken, lamb and vegetarian options cover everyone else. On the menu are spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken and coleslaw, and we are frequently booked for team treats and family fun days.
Rural businesses around Maxton can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, which makes a hog roast a real treat. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish before booking.
Step by step

Planning help
Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A covered area or canteen for wet weather
- Clearance from the building and parked cars
- Sign-off for outside caterers
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

What affects the price in Maxton
Here’s what affects the price:
- Travel to Maxton
- Plates or china
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Time on site
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Details that help
Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Where the event is
- An estimate of numbers
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the staff event is and roughly how many. A photo of the cooking area helps. Fill in our quote form.
Full catering or machine hire?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.

It can be dressed up, depending on the crockery and menu.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.
Is there a non-pork option?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We do not offer halal meat.
Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will fit around changes.
Organising for someone else?
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
