Corporate hog roast in Newingreen, slow-roasted on site
At an open day, you need food that serves a lot of people quickly. A hog roast does exactly that, with our staff serving and clearing. Typical bookings include open days and family days and long-service celebrations, with crackling, salads and hog roast rolls.
For farms and rural sites near Newingreen, we can cook in the yard. Tell us about access. The carving happens right in front of your staff, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Access through the site gates
- A contact on site
- Sign-off for outside caterers
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
For client events, add china, sides and a second roast for a more polished feel. For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What you get with us
- Carved by our chef in front of your staff
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Timed around your day
- We bring everything to cook and serve

Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
