Corporate hog roast for your staff event in Medstead
From a small team to a whole site, we size the roast to your numbers. Tell us the numbers and the serving window and we’ll quote. Whether it is client and customer events and team-building days, we can cook spit-roast lamb, hog roast rolls and coleslaw for your staff.
Around Medstead, teams work at farms, workshops and units. It works at any of them. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
Should I cook it myself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.

What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Ask staff about dietary needs in advance
- Find out how many don’t eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the site as we found it.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
