The menu, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, roasted until golden.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: grilled halloumi with vegetables, in a roll or on a plate.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a staff barbecue, nobody from the team is stuck cooking. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why Oad Street hosts choose us
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Carved to order by a chef
- Timed around your day
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
Take a look at our prices page and the cost guide.
Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Somewhere for staff to eat if it rains
- Flat ground in a car park or courtyard
- Space away from buildings, vehicles and trees
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

The process
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. For a staff lunch in Oad Street, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:50pm, so evening events need a lit cooking area. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:15pm.
