About our corporate hog roast in Meonstoke
Sites typically have rules for outside caterers: access, gas cooking and the cooking area. Tell us what your facilities team needs. We are frequently asked to cater team-building days and open days and family days, with halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls.
For farms and rural sites near Meonstoke, we can cook in the yard. Let us know about tracks and gates. 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?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.

Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, and it’s carved the same way, often with mint sauce.
What the cooking area needs
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- A safe distance from walls and vehicles
- Shelter for the team
- A contact on site
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
