About our corporate hog roast in North Charford
For a client event, a hog roast carved by a chef makes an impression. With china and sides, it becomes a proper meal. Typical bookings include open days and family days and retirements and long-service awards, serving rotisserie chicken, hog roast rolls and salads.
Near North Charford, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a hog roast a real treat. Our chef carves in front of your staff, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
How it works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we’ve agreed, and get on with roasting and serving. For a staff lunch in North Charford, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 4:00pm, so plan lighting for later events. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:25pm.

Common questions in North Charford
Is North Charford too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We do not provide halal meat.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Do you need power or water?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
Can you set up in our car park?
A car park, yard or grounds usually works, if there is a level spot away from buildings and vehicles.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
