Corporate hog roast in Monk's Hill, slow-roasted on site
At an open day, you need food that serves plenty of people quickly. A hog roast does exactly that, and our team serves and clears. For family fun days and summer staff parties, we will put together a menu of hog roast rolls, crackling and halloumi skewers.
For farms and rural sites near Monk's Hill, we can cook in the yard. Let us know about tracks and gates. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.
How it works
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. For a staff lunch in Monk's Hill, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:50pm, so evening events need a lit cooking area. Summer events have daylight until around 9:15pm.
- We start with the site, date, numbers and lunch break.
- We check site access and send a price.
- We arrive in good time and start the roast under cover.
- We serve quickly within your break.
- We pack away and leave the site as we found it.
How to prepare
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

Full catering or machine hire?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
