Corporate hog roast for Mislingford
Corporate hog roast in Mislingford, carved to order
Most teams have a set break, so we plan the roast to be ready on time and serve quickly. Rolls are the quickest way to serve. For team days and away days and staff thank-you lunches, we will put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, hog roast rolls and coleslaw and more.
Rural businesses around Mislingford can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, which makes a hog roast a real treat. The hog is roasted on site at your staff event, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your staff.
Catered or do it yourself?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Tips:
- Add a dietary question to the sign-up
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Find out how many don’t eat pork, for the alternatives
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
We’ll sign in and follow site rules.
If it’s a themed open day, tell us and we’ll fit in.
Space, access and the venue
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A contact on site
- A covered area or canteen for wet weather
- A safe distance from walls and vehicles
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

What happens on the day
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. For a staff lunch in Mislingford, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 4:00pm, so plan lighting for later events. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.

- You get a check on the date and the site, and a quote.
- On the day we set up and roast through the morning.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve to your timings.

Preparing for the day

A closer look at the menu
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb on the spit roasts gently for hours, and it’s carved the same way, often with mint sauce.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a restaurant outing, a hog roast keeps everyone on site and saves travel. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
What you get with us
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- We bring everything to cook and serve
