Corporate hog roast in Pembles Cross, carved to order
A carving station gives a client event a sense of occasion. Add china and sides for a more formal feel. We are often asked to cater family fun days and away days, serving salads, rotisserie chicken and spit-roast lamb.
Near Pembles Cross, workplaces can be far from shops, so a hog roast lunch is welcome. The carving happens right in front of your staff, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to street-food vans, carving serves the whole team fast. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. Every event gets its own quote, so you know exactly what you are paying for.

Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Find out how many don’t eat pork, for the alternatives
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
Name someone in facilities or reception for the day, so we can find you quickly.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Should I cook it myself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
How the day works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell typically brings people over long before we carve. Daytime open days in Pembles Cross are rarely affected by light, but in December it is dark by about 3:50pm, so late events need lighting.
- You send us the site address, date, numbers and serving window.
- We check access and the cooking area, then quote.
- We arrive in good time and start the roast under cover.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve to your timings.
- We pack away and leave the site as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
