Corporate hog roast in Newnham, carved to order
A corporate hog roast feeds a team without anyone leaving site. We set up in a car park, yard or courtyard in Newnham, roast through the morning and carve at the time you set. On the menu are crackling, spit-roast lamb and rotisserie chicken, and we’re frequently booked for milestone celebrations and site openings.
At country workplaces around Newnham, we can cook in the yard. Tell us about access. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a staff barbecue, nobody from the team is stuck cooking. Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
Why us?
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Our staff serve and clear
- Sides to make it a full meal

Working with your venue

Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
Afterwards we tidy up, and leave the site clean.
Ask about china for a more formal lunch, quoted separately.
