Corporate hog roast in Northwood, slow-roasted on site

Around Northwood, teams work at farms, workshops and units. A hog roast suits all of them. You will know what’s included before you book: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.
Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
How it works
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Open days in Northwood typically finish in daylight, but in December it’s dark by about 3:50pm.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
- Collect dietary needs when you send the invite
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, for the alternatives
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
We will sign in and follow site rules.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a plated lunch, it is less formal and normally costs less. The main driver is numbers: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why book with us
- Our staff serve and clear
- An itemised quote
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Choices for people who do not eat pork

Full catering or machine hire?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
