Slow-roasted pork in Minley
The menu, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg.
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Corporate hog roast for your staff event in Minley
A hog roast brings lunch to the workplace. We roast on site in Minley through the morning and carve at the time you set. On the menu are spit-roast lamb, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken, and typical bookings are for site openings and summer team parties.
For farms and rural sites near Minley, we can cook in the yard. Tell us about access. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Prices and what affects them
Things that change the price:
- Numbers
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Access to the cooking area
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Details that help
When you get in touch, please mention:
- The address or postcode
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Dietary requirements
- An estimate of numbers
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your staff event for a quote: use our quote form.
How the day works
From setting up to the last roll, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your staff event. After-work summer events in Minley have light until about 9:25pm at midsummer and 8:55pm in late May, so an after-work hog roast works well in summer. By late September, sunset is around 7:05pm.

- We check access and the cooking area, then quote.
- On the day we set up and roast through the morning.
- We serve quickly within your break.
