How our corporate hog roast works in Newchurch

Rural businesses around Newchurch can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a hog roast lunch is welcome. Timings are planned around your staff event, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Should I cook it myself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
What happens on the day
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. In Newchurch, summer evenings stay light until about 9:20pm, which suits a team barbecue-style evening. In late September, the light goes at about 7:10pm.
- Start with the date, site and numbers.
- We sort access and send a quote.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- We carve and serve quickly.
- We leave the site clean.
How to prepare
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
