How our corporate hog roast works in Pains-Hill
For a staff day in Pains-Hill, a hog roast is a crowd-pleaser: quick to serve, easy to eat standing up and enjoyed by most people. There are choices for people who do not eat pork. On the menu are crackling, rotisserie chicken and spit-roast lamb, and we’re regularly asked to cater launch days and summer team parties.
For farms and rural sites near Pains-Hill, we can cook in the yard. Tell us about access. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.
Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- A contact on site
- Sign-off for outside caterers
- Clearance from the building and parked cars
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
