Corporate hog roast for your staff event in Peaslake

For farms and rural sites near Peaslake, a hog roast brings a hot lunch to wherever the team is. Tell us about access. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.
Catered or do it yourself?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
For planners, venues and organisers
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
What happens on the day
Here’s how the day typically runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you are ready. After-work summer events in Peaslake have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer and 8:50pm in late May, which suits a team barbecue-style evening. By late September, sunset is around 7:05pm.
