Corporate hog roast for Pennington
Corporate hog roast in Pennington, carved to order
At an open day, you need food that serves a lot of people quickly. A hog roast does exactly that, with our staff serving and clearing. We’re frequently asked to cater project wrap-ups and long-service celebrations, serving halloumi skewers, salads and hog roast rolls.
Teams near Pennington frequently go for a lunch in the yard or grounds. Let us know about the site. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat.
Full catering or machine hire?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.

What to tell us
To check the date and the space, we’ll need:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Rough numbers

What happens on the day
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Lunchtime bookings in Pennington are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 4:05pm, so evening events need a lit cooking area. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:25pm.
- You send us the site address, date, numbers and serving window.
- You get a check on the date and the site, and a quote.
- We arrive in good time and start the roast under cover.
- The team carves and serves on time.
- We pack away and leave the site as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
