Corporate hog roast in Orlestone
Corporate hog roast for your staff event in Orlestone
Most teams have a set break, so we plan the roast to be ready on time. Rolls are the quickest way to serve. Typical bookings include new premises openings and project wrap-ups, serving coleslaw, spit-roast lamb and salads.
Near Orlestone, workplaces can be far from shops, so a hog roast lunch is welcome. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.

- Roughly how many people
- Anything the venue has asked for

What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, which keeps it hot and moist right to the last roll.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and children typically like it too.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Ask staff about dietary needs in advance
- Find out how many don’t eat pork, for the alternatives
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
Name someone in facilities or reception for the day, so we can find you quickly.
Salads and coleslaw make it a fuller lunch.
Space, access and the venue

- Somewhere for staff to eat if it rains
