Corporate hog roast in Maypole
About our corporate hog roast in Maypole
A carving station gives a client event a sense of occasion. With china and sides, it becomes a proper meal. For team days and away days and summer team parties, we can cook halloumi skewers, hog roast rolls and spit-roast lamb.
For farms and rural sites near Maypole, a hog roast brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Let us know about tracks and gates. Our chef carves in front of your staff, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Is a hog roast right for your staff event?
If it is for clients, add china, sides and a second roast for a more polished feel. For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What you get with us
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Sides to make it a full meal

Maypole questions
Can you roast near the sea around Maypole?
Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Do you come out to small places like Maypole?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

Can you do a hog roast for a client event?
It can be dressed up, with plates or china.
Can you send documents for facilities?

Do you clear up?

What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We’ll bring the rest.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.

Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Find out how many don’t eat pork, for the alternatives
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled

What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some staff will be vegetarian, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.
Full catering or machine hire?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
