About our corporate hog roast in Patrixbourne
In Patrixbourne, we cater retirements, openings and long-service celebrations, as a thank-you to the team. We’re frequently asked to cater team treats and staff summer days, with halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls.
Near Patrixbourne, workplaces can be far from shops, which makes a hog roast a real treat. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.
Full catering or machine hire?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
