Corporate hog roast in Oare, carved to order
In Oare, we cater retirements, openings and long-service celebrations, as a thank-you to the team. Popular choices include halloumi skewers, salads and rotisserie chicken, and typical bookings are for new premises openings and client hospitality.
Rural businesses around Oare can be a long way from anywhere to buy lunch, so a hog roast lunch is welcome. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Full catering or machine hire?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with sandwich platters, a hog roast is hot, fresh and feels like an event. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
